GOOD NEWS FOR THE SINNER
Pastor Jenna Luoto
The gospel message is good news, no matter what life situation you may find yourself in. It is in and through Jesus that your hope can be found. In this series we will be looking at how this "good news" speaks to the various life issues people may find themselves in, so that we as a people are prepared to share the gospel message in the specific ways people need to hear it.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. How did Pastor Jenna describe the difference between guilt and shame? Did you find this differentiation helpful?
2. Read Genesis 2:25-3:13. When it comes to shame, do you tend to cover, hide, or deflect/blame?

3. . When you make mistakes , how do you perceive God to respond to you?
4. What would it look like if you let yourself stand before God “naked” and let His love wash you clean? What, if anything, is holding you back from doing that?

No matter where you are at on your journey, Lifetrack is the FIRST step that we encourage you to participate in here at Kankakee First Church. This is where you will learn about WHO we are as a church, WHAT we believe, and HOW we are structured to help you along your spiritual journey.

You will learn more about who we are as a church and who God has created you to be.
