Easter

Have you ever struggled with feeling love, security, affirmation, acceptance, value, and/or purpose?  Do you think you are alone with these feelings? This Easter Sunday Pastor David explores how all of us deal with and suffer from an orphan spirit.  We will see the results of this mindset in Adam and Eves lives, but then see how Jesus flips the script on this belief system in his life.  Join the conversation as we discover how to be true sons and daughters of God.

John 14:15-18, Romans 8:14-16

Discussion topics

1. Read John 14:15-18 and Romans 8:14-16 and discuss what stands out to you most.

2. Pastor David said that an orphan’s heart struggles with feelings like love, security, affirmation, acceptance, value, and/or purpose.  Which ones of these resonate most with you?  What biblical truth do you need to know related to them?

3. Adam and Eve fell for a lie that if you DO, then you will HAVE, then that will make you BE something. We then saw that Jesus went to his baptism, and instead of having to DO something he chose to BE something. When he was first able to BE the son of God, he would HAVE the power and spirit of God, and then he would have the desire to DO something for his Father.  

Where in your life do you think you have to DO instead of BE when it comes to your relationship with Jesus?  Do you feel close?  Do you feel loved?  Do you feel frustrated?  How can you stop DOING and start BEING?

4. After this Easter season, what is something you have heard Jesus saying to you?  What do you need to do next?
