How many butter tubs do you have in your kitchen?  We have three empty ones that function as small, cheap versions of that fancy Tupperware stuff.  We also have 2-3 half-empty butter tubs in the Fridge hoping to be promoted someday to food storage organizers. When was the last time a butter tub really fascinated you?  Typically we are underwhelmed because butter tubs serve only as a nice-sized container for those last leftover bites from a great supper.   Truth is,…

Sticky Faith “Big Gospel for Smaller Kids” August 26, 2012 Chris Case (Resonate, Atlanta) DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Outside of Christ, what is the best news you ever received? How did you respond? What is the Gospel?  Can you define it or say it to someone who knows nothing about Jesus? What does it look like to see the gospel as “good news” rather than as advice? What are some ways that we present Jesus as advice rather than the good news…

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,…
