Below is an outline for the sermon preached on Sunday morning. Accessing these notes allows you to take the sermon home with you. Feel free to add your own notes!

At the end of the sermon you can email yourself those notes from that day.

We hope this is a helpful resource for you as you dive deeper into the Scriptures and the messages preached at New Life Church.

• Have someone read Romans 12:3-8. Have someone else open your group in prayer.  

• What stood out to you in Jake’s sermon this week? 

• Jake spoke about the root of pride in the Bible, and how we still struggle with it daily. How do you wrestle with pride?  

• Satan can tempt us and then cover us with guilt and shame. It’s easy to believe the lie that we’re unforgivable or beyond the love of God. Do you relate to this? What are some lies you’ve believed? 

• What does Jesus / the Gospel / God’s Word say to those lies? Brainstorm as a group.

• Verses 3-8 call us to evaluate ourselves to discern our spiritual gifts. Take a few moments to assess yourself. What are your strengths and weaknesses? We encourage you to do this as a group, naming the gifts you see in each person and in yourself.

• Based on your answer to Question #6, how can you use those gifts more intentionally? 

• Wrap up your group in prayer, praying for our church and community to become stronger as we identity and use our spiritual gifts. Pray for the lies and truths that were shared tonight too, that we may stand firm in God’s forgiveness and love.
