Suggested Icebreaker: Which is your favorite book of the Bible?
*** Summarize this week’s message from the Pastor’s Sermon Notes. ***
Passage: 1 John 3:1-3
1. What did you learn or takeaway from this week’s message?
2. What does John mean when he says we are sons of God? Why don’t we seem to live as if these things are true?
3. Why is our new nature not yet revealed in us? Should we take this to mean that we are meant to hide our faith?
4. What do you most look forward to about the new life you’ll have when Christ returns? What stops you from claiming it now?
5. Why does God want sons, anyway? Couldn’t He have figured out a simpler way to bring it about?
6. Application: Verse three says that every man that has this hope purifies himself. How do we do this? Why do we do it?

We had 9 oldies and 5 youngsters tonight for a total of 14. The meetings went great and we had a super awesome time of fellowship, discussion, and prayer. (Our group is getting ready to “give birth” in a couple of months. That’s why the oldies and youngsters had separate discussion groups.)
11 in attendance, two regulars out of town. Went a little overtime with lots of prayer requests
16 attended EPIC tonight. Today was a work day and we took care of a lot of stuff. I assigned a little research for the youth for the sake of preparing for the next unit on relationships. They submitted whatever questions, comments and bible references they could find about several categories of relationships (eg me/God, parent/child, boyfriend/girlfriend). We also prepared for our GAME DAY at the church this Saturday at 1:00pm. The worship time was wonderful tonight too.
Went to Mike’s group this evening and was glad/sad that I did. It was great to be with other Christians, but it was sad that there were only 5 of us. We sure missed those of you who couldn’t be there. Love and prayers.
