INTRO: What is better than passion or activism?

OBSTACLES TO GOOD CITY LIFE
What is it like to want desperately to not live where your are?

AN OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST
Who is responsible for the Israelites being exiled in Babylon?

JESUS’ INVESTMENT IN US
What could possibly motivate us to think and live this way?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US …

1. Worship the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for His mercy to sinners. Praise God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for His compassion for the lost and His kindness to send His ambassadors into a needy world.
2. How are you resentful or fearful of people who also call our city home? Confess your lack of love for your neighbors or your unbelief in the Lord’s purposes, asking Jesus to forgive you and transform your heart.
3. Give thanks to Jesus for the wonder of His commitment to take on a human nature forever, in order to save us! Thank Him for committing to you so deeply, and for investing so profoundly.
4. Who do you know through work or in your neighborhood who does not know Christ? Ask the Spirit to help them in their heart to both see their need for redemption and to trust Christ to be their God and Savior.
5. Ask the Holy Spirit to bear in you His fruit of love, goodness and faithfulness. Pray that He would give you insight into what it means to increase, to seek our city’s peace, and to pray for your neighbors’ well-being.

The Facilitator is a study tool designed to help you engage with the weekly sermon through the five elements we incorporate in our Community Groups; Get Acquainted & Sharing, Sermon Study, Mission, Worship and Prayer. This tool will be made available Monday morning to give us the opportunity to look back at what we heard on Sunday.
