HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Our Mission

The following questions can be used as a weekly recap in a small group setting or as a personal study aid for the sermon preached by Senior Pastor, Tommy Dove, at the Grace Place on Sunday, April 30, 2017.  Past sermons are available offline at www.nashvillechurch.com.  Click on “Media” to view the video.  For more information on participating in a Life Group study, contact Pastor Jon Green.

Weekly Warm-up:
What animals have you raised?
What work was involved?
What animal would you like to see up close?


Weekly Overview:
Living on this side of the crucifixion and resurrection, we 21st century Christians are amazed by the lack of belief of the 1st century Christians who had Jesus in their very midst; yet, did not believe.  It is easy to criticize them when we have sacrificed little for Christ.  We sit in our padded seat world afraid to mention the name of Jesus in our office for fear of being made fun of or losing our job.  If we love Him, we are to feed and care for His sheep.  How much does it cost to follow Him?

Weekly Discussion Questions:
Read Matthew 28:16-20

What did Jesus tell the disciples to do?
Why was it important that Jesus told them He had all authority?
How did they know how to make disciples?
What promise did He make to them?

Read Mark 16:9-16

Why do you think they still doubted Jesus’ resurrection?
What will they be able to do if they believe?
What will Jesus be doing while they are preaching?
What is Jesus doing while we are serving?

Read John 21:15-19

How many times does Jesus have to ask you to serve Him?
What does “feed my sheep” look like in your world?


Group Prayer:
Pray for each other as we serve.
Pray for Pastor Tommy’s sabbatical.
Pray for Pastor Patton.

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...
