The Vine Church
Matthew 16:15-18 ESV
Matthew 20:28 ESV
Hebrews 10:25 NLT
Teaching Notes:
Cultural Christians focus on what they can get, not what they can give.
Consumer Christians want to be served, not to serve.
Consumer Christians focus on what they want instead of what God wants.
We are not called to be Consumers. We are called to be Contributors.
Reflection Questions:
- What is your earliest memory of playing a video game? What is your favorite video game of all time?
- What does the phrase “Cultural Christian” make you think of? Do you think it is something the Church should be concerned about? Why or why not?
- Why is it important for Christians to focus on what they can give to the church instead of what they can get from the church?
- How can you be intentional this week to focus on what God wants instead of what you want?
- What are some ways that you contribute to the church and the community? Are there other things that you would like to do for the church and community? What’s stopping you from doing those things?
