SERMON NOTES

Use these notes as discussion prompts for your group, or in your personal time with God.

Get to know each other. Connect, warm up to each other, fellowship.

Carry each other's burdens. Share life’s challenges and practice Soul Care. Pray together.

Dive into God’s Word. Use these discussion questions. Learn from each other's insight.

1. Share with the group about a time when you felt the peace of God?

2. Am I at peace with God? If not, what is keeping me from loving Him with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength?

3. What will I do this week to rebuild a broken relationship?

4. Ask a trusted friend to help you sharpen a character quality in need of repair.

5. Joseph is described as a just and righteous man in Matt. 1:19, he had a deep abiding peace in Christ that allowed him to walk in obedience. What is something you can do in your life to cultivate faithful obedience, how can you all help encourage each other in that way?

Does anyone need clarity on something? Are there any big God questions you are wrestling with?

Celebrate life’s successes and God’s provision. Worship God’s presence. Time to brag about God.

Jesus, I believe you came because you love us, you died on the cross because you love us and you rose again because you desired to make a way for me to be with you now and in Heaven. I am sorry for sinning and going my own way, please forgive me. God be the King of my life, I invite you right now to come and change my heart and life. Amen

If you prayed the Prayer of Salvation, do these three things:

1. Tell someone that you started a relationship with Jesus Christ.

2. Talk to God and tell him about your life. Just talk to him like you would to a friend because HE is your friend,
