Here they are!! 🎉

This week's "Family Faith Conversations" questions ✝

Read Romans 8:1-14 and watch this week's sermon, "Spirit Filled Life," as a family. Use the discussion questions below to apply God's word to your lives! 💛

1) Was there ever a time when you should have been punished but were shown mercy? What did that feel like? What was your response?

2) Verse 5 mentions "setting their minds on the flesh.” What kinds of things is Paul talking about? What are "things of the Spirit" we can set our minds on?

3) What is your reaction to knowing the Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives inside of you? How should this knowledge change the way we live?

4) We are called "sons of God" in verse 14. What privileges came with being a child of your parents? What privileges come with being children of God?

September verse of the month! 🍂✝

"Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually." Psalm 105:4

As we go through our daily routine, we can forget to seek God in all that we do, but our daily lives and routines can be filled with the mission to seek the Lord no matter what we are busy doing. Let us go where He leads, do what He says, and seek Him as individuals and as a church body. 💛📖

Here are this week's "Family Faith Conversations" questions! 💛✨

Read Matthew 12:33-37 and watch the sermon from this week as a family. Use these discussion questions to apply God's word to your lives! 📖✝

1) What does it mean to bear fruit? What fruit does a life in Christ produce?

2) How can our words reveal what our heart looks like? How do our thoughts affect our words?

3) What has been said to you that blessed you the most? What is something that was said that hurt you the most? What do these verses say about the power of our words?

4) How could knowing we are accountable for the words we speak change how we speak to others?
