I hope in the first two messages of the this series, you have seen the importance as well as possibilities of intergenerational discipleship.  Now, you may not think of yourself as much of a discipler, but here’s the deal: you are making disciples. As Jeff Vanderstelt says, we don’t have a disciple-making problem.  We will make disciples, because that’s how the world works.  We learn from imitation and follow the examples of others. That’s how God has made the world…

Sticky Faith “Well-Rounded Or Christ-Centered” August 19, 2012 Alan Scott (Lead Pastor, CCC) DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Name one thing you do with great passion and purpose?  Does this identify who you are?  Do others see this passion as an obvious flame or a hidden candle?  Explain.  Who, in today’s media/culture, has an obvious intent and purpose? Read Deuteronomy 6.  What is the context of this chapter?  What is God trying to do within the history of His people?  Can you explain…

Brooklynn starts back to college this morning and turns, unbelievably, 21 in just a few short weeks.  Lauren, my 18-year-old, goes away to Point University on Monday.  Ugh.  The transitions we’re experiencing in the Scott house are tough.  Having one less at our dinner table will be a bitter/sweet dish I’d just as soon pass.  For my two oldest girls, I cross my fingers, say a prayer, and hope we did some things right. But wait… I’ve got two more…

Sticky Faith “Sticky Faith Modeling” August 12, 2012 Alan Scott / Joel Groff – CCC DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Name the most influential book you’ve ever read.  Why did you pick this book?   Who would you name as the most influential person in your life?  What did they give you?   Do you think you have much to give someone?  Why or why not? Read Philippians 3:10-21.  How easy or hard is verse 17 to apply to your life?  Why do you think…

I can’t wait for next week.  I’m going to finally get the sleep my fatigued body needs.  Coffee can keep my slumber-deprived soul jacked up for only so long until laying down beside still waters becomes a forced and not just necessary reality.  It’s those ding dang Olympics.  I just can’t get enough of them.  I just can’t turn Bob Costas off.   Good things these games roll around only once every four years. I’m not a huge discus fan.  Gymnastics…

Somebody important once told me how 5th grade would be wasted if it weren’t for a few knee scrapes and pesky girl cooties.  I hated that challenge.  Honestly, I thought cruising through my final year of elementary school would give me necessary breathing space in preparation for the hell of junior high.  In the end and in the grand scheme of things, knee scabs and girlie troubles were but minor issues compared to successfully conquering the rigors of 5th grade.…

Just Like Elijah “Can I have a legacy of fire?” July 29, 2012 Chris Case (Resonate, Atlanta) DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Why do you think Elisha was so devoted to Elijah in this passage? Why do you think Elijah continued to ask Elisha to stay behind? Why did he refuse?How would you describe the relationship between the two men? If you were in Elisha’s shoes, how would you feel  about being all alone after Elijah was taken to  heaven? What do you…

Maybe I’m an anomaly, but I have to admit, I actually enjoy going to the grocery store.  Maybe because I love food so much… I don’t know.  I really do enjoy shopping for groceries, but I know most men don’t.  The stores can be rather overwhelming.  It can be hard to find everything you need.  Most men don’t shop with a shopping list or coupons, so even the resources that make grocery stores managable are foreign to most men.  Therefor,…

Just Like Elijah “How To Sort Through Friends And Not So Much” July 22, 2012 Alan Scott (lead pastor, CCC) DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Name your bestest bff forever friend… for ever.   Why did you name that person?   What one story reflects the totality and importance of this friendship.  How has this friendship deposited into your life?  Can you name a friendship that was a withdrawal? Read I Kings 19:19-21:29 (I know that’s a long passage!!!).  What do you make of the…

It’s incredibly easy for me to pull up great memories of Mike and Ken.  They were my two best friends in high school.  Both of my friends came from great homes with solid foundations and marriages.  Ken’s mom and dad took me in and fed me a lot of food.  Both Mike and Ken’s folks encouraged my faith as well.  Looking back, I think they understood what I was experiencing subsequent to my parent’s divorce. Ken and Mike were both…
