When Church Hurts – Phil Webb
By: Phil Webb
Series: One off
This week, Guest Speaker Phil Webb shares 'When Church Hurts' based on Galatians 6:1-10.

ICEBREAKER: What does your perfect burger or sandwich have in it?

1. Who are the “spiritual” ones mentioned in Galatians 6:1 who are responsible to restore the one caught in a transgression? How does the context, particularly Galatians 5:22-24, help provide some clarity [cf. Romans 15:1-6; 1 Corinthians 4:14-21; and 2 Corinthians 13:11]?

2.The term “restore” in Galatians 6:1 is used elsewhere to refer to the mending of fishing nets [cf. Matthew 4:21]. How does this background help to explain how to restore an erring believer [cf. Matthew 18:15; 2 Thessalonians 3:14-15; and James 5:19-20]?

3. How do you faithfully practice the command to “keep watch on yourself” in Galatians 6:1 [cf. 2 Corinthians 7:1; 2 Timothy 2:20-23; and 2 Peter 3:14]?

4. Why is pride destructive [Galatians 6:3]? What can we do to prevent pride from deceiving us and disrupting our relationships [cf. Romans 12:3; 1 Corinthians 3:18-23; and 1 Peter 5:5-6]?

5. The law of sowing and reaping cannot be bypassed [Galatians 6:7-8]. What can you do to “sow to the Spirit” instead of “sowing to the flesh” [cf. Hosea 10:12; Matthew 6:33; and Galatians 5:19-21]?

6. According to Galatians 6:9-10, what can we do to “sow to the Spirit” to reap eternal life [cf. Romans 2:6-7; 1 Corinthians 15:58; and 2 Thessalonians 3:13]?

7. What did you find helpful or challenging about this Sunday’s message?

“The Church is the Church only when it exists for others - not dominating, but helping and serving. It must tell men of every calling what it means to live for Christ, to exist for others.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

    Face to Face with Jesus – Phil Webb
    By: Phil Webb
    Series: One off
    This week Phil Webb preached a sermon titled Face to Face With Jesus focusing on Luke 18:18 - 29
     
    Questions
    Luke 18: 18 - 29
    ICEBREAKER: What takes a lot of time but is totally worth it?

    1. The story of the ruler’s question [Luke 18:18-30] follows immediately after Jesus welcomed little children [Luke 18:15-17]. What do you think of the ruler’s question [v. 18] in light of the preceding verse [v. 17], along with John 6:28-29; Acts 16:30-31, and Ephesians 2:8-10? Do you think his question was sincere? Why or why not?
    2. Why do you think Jesus introduced the 10 Commandments to assess the ruler’s spiritual condition [Luke 18:20-22]? How might you use them to share the gospel with unbelievers [cf. Romans 7:7-12; Romans 13:8-10; and Galatians 3:10-14]?
    3. What was the one thing the ruler lacked [Luke 18:22-23]? What do you think was going on in the ruler’s heart? What needed to happen for him to inherit eternal life [cf. John 3:15-17; 1 Timothy 1:15-16; and 1 John 5:10-13]?
    4. Is Jesus commanding all wealthy people to sell everything and distribute the proceeds to the poor in order to follow Him [Luke 18:22]? How should believers view wealth based on this text, as well as Ecclesiastes 5:10-20; Matthew 6:19-24; and 1 Timothy 6:5-10?
    5. How should wealthy believers relate to the poor based on Luke 18:22, as well as Proverbs 14:21 & 31; Luke 12:13-21; Acts 4:32-37; 1 Timothy 6:17-19; and James 2:1-13?
    6. A common misconception is that riches indicate favour while poverty indicates disfavour. Jesus appeared to discourage this wealthy ruler, much to the shock of those with Him [Luke 18:24-26]. According to Jesus, “then who can be saved” to experience God’s favour [Luke 18:27- 30]? Consult also Luke 18:9-14; Luke 19:1-10; and Acts 9:1-6, 17-22.
    7.What did you find helpful or challenging about this Sunday’s message?
     
    “If we discover a desire within us that nothing in this world can satisfy, also we should begin to wonder if perhaps we were created for another world.” (C.S. Lewis)

    Why Can’t Everyone Wash Feet?
    By: Phil Webb
    Series: Guest speaker
    This week we have a special missionary guest speaker Phil Webb from Fellowship International. He will be preaching from John 13:1-17 entitled "Why Can't Everyone Wash Feet?"

    Questions:
    Please read John 13:1-17
    Ice Breaker: Ice Breaker: The presence of vulnerability is necessary, if a true “community” of believers is to develop.

    Describe a time when you witnessed or experienced honest vulnerability in someone. What effect did that have on you or the group?

    1. What would be the significance of Jesus sharing this lesson with His disciples at this particular point in time? (v.1) Similarly, how is this significant to you and your life today?

    2. Describe any parallels you see in the relationship between Judas and Jesus, and our modern society and God. (vv.2-5)

    3. Describe Jesus’ actions in verses 4 and 5 with respect to the culture of His time. How does the disciples’ response indicate the depth of their understanding of what Jesus was demonstrating to them? (vv.6-11)

    4. What is Jesus’ expectation of His disciples? (vv.12-17) What attitude towards others would the disciples need to embrace?

    5. Explain why this “act of foot washing” would be hard for any of us to do for our friends today? What would have to change in us to make an act like this possible?

    6. In what ways can we “wash the feet” of others?
