Psalms 15 (NIV)

Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
Who may live on your holy mountain?

The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbour,
and casts no slur on others;
who despises a vile person
but honours those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;
who lends money to the poor without interest;
who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.

Whoever does these things
will never be shaken.

This week, we welcome Paul Tuck from Dismas Fellowship Network as he shares on the topic of loving our neighbour. In Luke 10, Christ is asked "Who is my neighbour?" and he replies with the parable of the Good Samaritan. How can this inform how we treat those around us?

Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here.

Home Church Questions:

1. What stood out to you from this week's teaching?

2. When you hear the word “neighbour”, what comes to mind?

3. Read Luke 10:25-37 (preferably in multiple translations). What stands out to you from this passage?

4. Who in the story stands out to you most: the wounded man, the religious leaders, or the Samaritan? Why?

5. The expert in the law asks, “Who is my neighbour?” Why does he ask this? How does Jesus reshape that question?

6. When have you experienced someone being a “Good Samaritan” to you?

7. Is there a situation right now where you feel like the priest or Levite—aware of a need but hesitant to engage?

8. What practical barriers keep us from loving our neighbour well (eg, time, fear, assumptions, busyness)?

9. A question asked to Paul after the service… “When is enough enough? Is there a limit to compassionate care when you might feel taken advantage of?"

10. Pray with and for one another, our church community, and our world.

John 14:1-7 (NIV)

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

This morning, Dave Blow starts us into a new series looking at what it means to be resurrection people. What do we do know that Christ has risen and death is defeated?

Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here.

Home Church Questions:

1. What stood out to you from this week's teaching?

2. Describe a time when something made sense only in hindsight. What changed your perspective?

3. Read Luke 24:13-35 (preferably in multiple translations). What stands out to you from this passage? What emotions do you notice in the two disciples? What surprises you about how Jesus interacts with them?

4. The disciples say, “We had hoped…”. What does that reveal about their expectations of Jesus?

5. Why do you think they were kept from recognizing Jesus at first? What might this teach us about how God works in our lives?

6. Jesus opens the scriptures to them before revealing himself. Why is this significant? What does it say about how we come to understand Jesus?

7. Have you experienced a “we had hoped” moment in your life? What did that season feel like?

8. Can you think of a time when you later realized God was present… but you didn’t see it at the time? What does this story teach us about doubt, confusion, or disappointment in faith?

9. Where might Jesus be walking with you right now—even if you don’t fully recognize him?

10. Pray with and for one another, our church community, and our world.

1 Corinthians 15:51-58 (NIV)

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

“Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.

Today, Dave Blow offers a brief Easter Sunday reflection on the meaning of the resurrection. We had a lovely meeting this morning with music, coffee and refreshments, and communion in addition to this teaching. We hope that we will see you out for our Sunday gatherings whenever you are able to join us in community and fellowship with one another.

Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here.

2. How was Easter for you? Is there an area in your life right now that might need
resurrection—hope, healing, or new beginnings?

3. Read Matthew 28:1-10 (preferably in multiple translations). What stands out to you from this passage?

4. What does the phrase “love that rose” stir in you personally?

5. How does the resurrection change the way we understand suffering and loss?

6. Do you find it easier to relate to Jesus in his suffering or in his victory? Why?

7. What would it look like for you to live as someone who truly believes that love has already won?

8. In what practical way can you embody risen love in your family, church, or community?

9. How can we, as a church and community, reflect resurrection life rather than just talk about it?

11. Pray with and for one another, our church community, and our world.

This morning, we had a special Good Friday service. As there will also be an Easter Sunday teaching that home church will likely use for their weekly discussion, we are including a few individual reflection questions to go along with today's teaching. You can find them below.

Please find the slide deck for this morning's teaching here.

Personal Reflection Questions:

1. Where do I see myself at the cross? Am I avoiding it, observing from a distance, or willing to stay and receive the truth about both who Jesus was and what that means to me personally? Is God's mercy calling me to follow Jesus?

2. What feels “dead” in my life right now that needs the hope of resurrection? Is there an area where I have given up, lost hope, or stopped believing God can bring new life? How is the resurrection inviting me to live differently this week?

3. What would it look like for me to move from simply believing the story to actually living as a witness of hope, grace, and new life? What might it mean for us as a community?

1 Corinthians 15:20-27a (NIV)

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he “has put everything under his feet.”
