LET'S "REP" GOD WELL
Dave Anderson, Lead Pastor
Pastor Dave will explore God’s 3rd Love Instruction – we must not “misuse” the name of the Lord our God – in the context of the particular role that God has asked us to play as God works through us to restore the world to the very good way that God created the world to be. So, what do you think it means to “misuse” God’s name?
SERMON DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. Read Exodus 19:5, 1 Peter 2:9, and Exodus 20:7.
2. What is our role in God’s restoration plan?
3. What does it mean to be a priest and a holy nation?
4. What does it mean to “misuse” God’s name?
5. How may you be “misusing God’s name? How have you “misused” God’s name? What do you do when you do?
6. What life posture will help us not to “misuse” God’s name? (Read Romans 12:1-2)

Prepare a MEAL | Sunday or Wednesday Evenings
Breaking bread together is a powerful way to make connection with others. This is why we start many of our ministry gatherings with food - specifcally our YOUTH and our ALPHA ministries. But....we could use some more people who would be willing to help prepare the *simple* meals. If you would be willing to help in this way, please contact Pastor Lindsay (YOUTH) lindsay@k1naz.org, or Pastor Maddi (ALPHA) maddi@k1naz.org.

OuTREACH OPPORTUNITIES

Join a group that serves at the Agape Community Outreach Mission Food Pantry

Join our Dare to Care group that serves at the Center of Hope food pantry. Contact Marcia Ledyard marcia.ledyard@gmail.com

At K1, we are committed to sharing the good news of Jesus with a world who does yet know him. We believe that the most effective way to do that is through "relational evangelism" - building relationships with lost people in our lives by Beginning with Prayer (Praying for them), Listening (Really listening), Eating (Sharing meals with them), Serving (showing up in meaningful ways, without limits), and Sharing our Story (The ways that God has shown up in our lives).
As we live this out, we want to hear stories of how this B.L.E.S.S. way of living is happening in your life!
