    Names of God: Adonai & Jehova
    Jan 18 2026
    One is the same and one is different.
    LORD in Scripture is different from Lord.

    Listen to learn more.

    Questions for Small Group:

    Read Exodus 20:7
    What do you think it means to misuse God’s name?

    Is saying “Oh my God!” breaking this commandment? (especially since God’s name is Yahweh and not “God”)


    Do you tend to view God more as “LORD” (Yahweh/Jehovah): Familiar, Faithful, Friend or as “Lord” (Adonai): Caring, Control, Commander?

    Why is it vital to keep these in balance?


    Does “Adonai” have less meaning/significance since it is a title meaning “Lord” and not a name? Why/Why not?


    Read John 15:15, then John 15:14
    How do you understand Jesus seeing his disciples as friends not servants (v.15), but also commands his friends to obey him (v.14) as if they are his servants?

    Does this mean if we fail to obey Jesus that we are no longer his friend? Why/Why not?

  • Resolute Why?

    Resolute Why?
    Dec 28 2025
    Small Group Discussion Questions:

    1. Looking Back / Looking Forward
    As you reflect on the past year, what is one joy and one challenge that stands out in your walk with God? How do those shape what you hope for in the coming year?

    2. Resolutions vs. Direction
    Andy Stanley says, “Direction, not intention, determines destination.”
    Where do you see a gap between what you intend spiritually and the direction your life is actually moving?

    3. Why Matters
    Think about a spiritual habit you’ve started and stopped before (Bible reading, prayer, serving, etc.). What do you think caused it to fade—distraction, motivation, difficulty, comparison, or a weak WHY?

    4. Personal Motivation or God Motivation
    What’s an example of a goal that started as a personal motivation but could be reframed as a God-centered calling? How does that change the way you approach it?

    5. The Mindset of Christ (Philippians 2:5–11)
    Which part of Jesus’ humility and obedience stands out to you the most in this passage? Why do you think that’s significant for your life right now?

    6. Resolute WHY #1 – Jesus Died for Me
    How does remembering that Jesus willingly died for you affect the way you view obedience, sacrifice, or daily faithfulness?

    7. Resolute WHY #2 – Apprentice to Jesus
    What does being an apprentice to Jesus practically look like in your everyday life (work, home, relationships)? Where is denying yourself hardest right now?

    8. Resolute WHY #3 – Jesus Is Lord
    Hudson Taylor said, “He is Lord of all, or He is not Lord at all.”
    Are there areas of your life where Jesus feels more like a consultant than Lord? What makes surrender difficult there?

    9. Hope That Can Be Explained (1 Peter 3:15)
    If someone asked you why you have hope, what would you honestly say today? How could clarifying your WHY strengthen your witness?

    10. Living Out Trinity’s Mission
    Trinity resolves to: Encounter God through Worship, Grow as Disciples in Small Groups, and Serve Others.
    What is one concrete step you feel God calling you to take this year to live that out—personally or as part of this group?

  • Advent 2025: LOVE

    Advent 2025: LOVE
    Dec 7 2025
    Questions for SG and Reflection:

    Main Passage: 1 John 4:7-10

    Read together 1 John 4:7-10
    - Aren’t there people who love their family/friends but do not have any kind of faith or relationship with God? If that’s the case how is it that “Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.” (v.7)
    - What are some notable instances in the Gospels of God showing us His love in/through the life of Jesus? (v.9)

    Read Zephaniah 3:17
    - What word or phrase stands out to you?
    - What would you say you delight in? How might that shape your understanding of how God feels about you?

    For someone who is not a Christian, how would you define what it means to “follow” Jesus?

    It was said in the sermon “God is the initiator.” What does that mean in terms of our salvation and life with God?
    Why is that statement so important?

  • Advent 2025: HOPE

    Advent 2025: HOPE
    Nov 30 2025
    Questions for SG and Reflection:
    Main Text: Jeremiah 29:11-14

    Pastor PJ shared some of his hopes for Trinity in 2026 including: better prioritizing prayer, sending out mission teams to Florida (Hoops on Mission) and Uganda (Dayspring School), and growing our small group ministry.
    - Discuss these as a group. What are some ways we can start to put these hopes into action? (Please share your ideas with Pastor PJ)
    - What hopes do YOU have for our church going forward?

    It was said in the sermon “The Advent season points us to our greatest, most significant hope” What does that mean?

    Has there been a time where you had to lean on your hope in Jesus to get you through a difficulty/challenge? If so, share with the group.

    Given the difficulties of the days prior to Jesus’ return (see Luke 21) Jesus tells us to “Stand firm” (Luke 21:19). What do you think that practically looks like?

    Read out loud Jeremiah 29:11-14. What words or phrases stand out? What emotions do you feel as this passage is read?

  • Ponds & Streams

    Ponds & Streams
    Nov 23 2025
    What is the difference between ponds and streams and what does it have to do with our spiritual walk?

    Questions for Small Group or Reflection:
    What setting is your “happy place”, where you could sit for a while and be at peace?

    It was said in the sermon: “From the spring of Jesus’ living water he is creating us into his spring-fed ponds and streams.”
    - What characteristics of a pond might we connect with our spiritual formation?
    - What characteristics of a stream might we connect with our spiritual formation?

    In your Christian walk, do you view yourself as more of a pond or a stream? In what ways?

    Why is it essential to allow Jesus to form us into both a pond and a steam?

    Read Luke 10:29-37
    Why was it significant that the helper was a samaritan? (feel free to do a little group research)
    Who, in our context, might be the people we would rather avoid than love?

    If we have a season of feeling more like a stagnant pond or dried up river bed, how do we reconnect with our source, Jesus’ spring of living water (John 4:14)?
