Title: Bible As Our Blueprint
Text: 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Scripture is God-breathed and given to shape how we live. More than information, the Bible is God’s life-giving gift that guides our decisions, forms our character, and equips us for every good work. We are called to value God’s Word deeply—feeding on it daily, allowing it to correct and direct us, and responding with obedience so that it truly transforms our lives.

Title: Joshua – One Who Finished Well
Text: Joshua 5:13-15; Joshua 6: 207; Joshua 24:14-15

Title: Gideon – One Who Did Not Finish Well
Text: Judges 8:22-32

The first character we are focusing on is Gideon. Gideon started out fearful but by taking steps of faith, he fought against an army 120 000 Midianites and was victorious with 300 people. This is a clear testament of an only God moment. However, Gideon paid lip service to God but did not give Him the honour and glory. We can learn that pride resulting in self-reliance and idolatry showcasing a divided heart will detract us from ending well for God.

General Questions:

  1. Do you find it difficult to finish different tasks well? What are some hinderances in your life that stop you from completing a task well? What then do you do to keep yourself on track?
  2. Actions speak louder than words. Although Gideon said that God will be the king, he acted as if he was the king. What is the danger when our words and our actions do not tally? How can we make sure that we do not fall into this pit?

Perspective Questions:

  1. In the sermon, pride is linked with self-reliance. How is relying on yourself and pride related to each other? How does pride distance us from God?
  2. Any good thing or person that is our top or highest priority can become an idol and take God’s rightful place. What are some indicators that something or someone has become more important than God in our lives?

Application Questions:

  1. Pastor Jeff shared about handing Jesus the master key of our life and surrendering every area to Him. What are some areas of your life you would want to work on welcoming Jesus into?What concerns and worries do you have about surrendering fully to God?
  2. The sermon warned about the dangers of losing sight of God in success. How can we continue to hold on to God in our successes? How can the LG help each other in our times of victory?

The Jesus Way as a theme for our church is about 2 things: being reminded of God’s vision and mission and the fundamentals. These are the things that will keep us on track. The challenge for many people is not to start well but to end well. In these two weeks, we will learn from a negative example and a positive one on how to finish well in God’s kingdom.

Sermon: When We Walk In Wisdom
Passage: Psalm 1

Psalm 1 is the gateway into the entire book of Psalms. It paints a vivid contrast between two paths: one that leads to wisdom and life, and one that leads to foolishness and destruction. The sermon reminds us that we need wisdom not only for life’s big crossroads like choosing a spouse, job, or calling, but also for the small daily decisions that shape our lives over time.

From the mountaintops of praise to the valleys of lament, from personal struggles to corporate celebrations, the Psalms teach us how to bring our hearts honestly before God.
Whether you are rejoicing, weeping, seeking, or wrestling, you will find that God’s Word has a song for every season of your soul.
