Fellowship: (Break bread with your community, share life from last week, announcements for next week)

Icebreaker: (Get to know your fellow believers a little bit better using this week’s topic)
If you could be somewhere else RIGHT now, where would you be?
Where would you like to go this summer?
Who would you like to go with you?

Scripture: (Read the word together – use different readers, different versions, just read it)
Romans 6:15-23

Lesson: (Delve deeper into the Word and into the sermon using open-ended questions)
Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.  Sadly, many people are proving this quote to be true on their journey through life.  Our goal is to help them find the narrow path that gives them freedom from sin and leads to eternal life.

Using Romans 6:15-23, fill in the blanks:
Disobedience leads to sin that leads to death that leads to eternal separation from God.
Obedience leads to righteousness that leads to holiness that leads to eternal life with God.
What is your reward for obedience?  Now?  Later?
Why does everything have to start with obedience?
Why is obedience so hard for humans?
Why should we be concerned about sin?
Why should we be concerned about sin in other’s lives?
How can we help others find their way to righteousness?

Prayer: (Share each other’s burdens, become a community of believers)

As we countdown to Easter, begin to pray for specific people who need to find Jesus.

I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS: Tough Love

Icebreaker: What is your favorite Christmas movie? What is your favorite Christmas movie quote? Overview: In the Christmas classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” angel Clarence Odbody is forced to lovingly deliver some tough love when George wishes he had never been born. Clarence grants his wish lamenting that there must be an easier way to get his wings. After George has a frightening experience of what life would have been like had he never been born, Clarence says, “ Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?” In the end, George realizes how wonderful his life truly is despite its difficulties. Truth without love is brutality, and love without truth is hypocrisy.   -- Warren W. Wiersbe God loved us so much that He sent His Son as the Baby Jesus to redeem us. He has placed preachers, teachers and a church in our lives to give us direction so we can mature in our faith. He disciplines us wi...
