Sermon Discussion Guide: We Want to See Jesus
Our weekly sermon discussion guide offers thoughtful questions and insights based on Sunday’s message. Whether you're journaling on your own or gathering with others, this guide will help you reflect on what blocks our vision—and how Jesus helps us see again.

The Chasm
This week, Pastor Mark reflects on the stark parable of the rich man and Lazarus—and a childhood story about a candy bar that still echoes today. It’s a powerful reminder that love and justice go hand in hand, and that God may be closer than we think.

Celebrate and Rejoice
In this reflection on Luke 15, Pastor Mark invites us into Jesus’ joyful parables of lost and found—where sheep, coins, and even rebellious sons are welcomed with open arms and celebration. It’s a reminder that grace isn’t about being deserving. It’s about coming home. Read the full sermon and consider your own invitation to the party.
