Important Info:
Can You Personally Request Eggstravaganza Volunteers? - We still have volunteer needs during the Eggstravaganza event, especially at 12:00pm and 12:30pm at the face painting, inflatables, and sensory station posts. Will you send a message out to your Life Group or ministry with this link for them to sign up?
Taking off Life Groups During Easter Week - Since we are broadcasting Resurrection Week Live (RWL) from Sunday through Thursday at 8pm, we recommend that you take the week off from meeting together as a Life Group or meet to watch RWL together!
Compass Classroom Next Semester - We will be announcing other classes for the Summer semester soon. Today we're excited to announce that on 5/8, we will begin a study of the Minor Prophets on Sundays at 9am in the cafeteria.
Our Weekend Parking Situation - We're frequently running out of parking at the 11am service, and sometimes we're getting close at the 9am service. If you are able (physically) to park farther away (at the school over next to Locust Grove), will you do so? That will help free up spaces for guests who visit us each weekend. Thanks!
Application Questions:
Paradise
How Paradise Was Lost
Genesis 3
Read 2 Corinthians 11:3. What are some of the ways your thoughts are being led astray from devotion to Christ? What are some of the lies you encounter that try to tell you that God is withholding what is good/best from you?
Read Genesis 3:4-5. Satan directly counters the Word of God! What are some ways you may be tempted to doubt God’s Word? On the other hand, how can you use God’s Word to counter your temptations?
Read Romans 6:15-19. What are some ways you have seen sin lead to compounding consequences and slavery in your own life? How have you seen God graciously work through righteous deeds to reverse the effects of the curse in your life? How can that motivate you towards righteousness this week?
Read Genesis 3:15. Especially as we begin Resurrection Week, what hope does the promise of this verse bring to you? What are some other Scriptures that speak of God reversing the curse that you will meditate on this week as you celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ?
Spend some extra time praying that God would work through the events of this week to glorify Jesus Christ, to build up the saints, and to bring lost souls to salvation.
