Family/Group Study Notes for August 9, 2020

 * What service, outreach, other activities do you do to help others? Do you do them by yourself, with your family or in community? Why do you do these? What stops you from doing more? How does doing these make you feel? What may be wrong with calling these acts “activities?”

* How have you been dealing with the last five months (feelings, emotions, habits)? How have you been dealing with COVID-19, quarantine, racial unrest, canceled plans, canceled vacations, unemployment, and everything else? How has all this affected your faith in Jesus Christ? How are you staying connected to others in community? How has all this affected you at a personal level, with your family and your community?

* Read Matthew 3:13-17 and Romans 6:1-14. What happened at Jesus’ baptism? What happened at your baptism according to these scriptures? How should that change your view of your life? Jesus started His ministry after He was baptized, He was called and sent. What about you?

* What is worship? Read Psalm 63:1, 1Corinthians 6:19-20, Acts 2:46-47, Matthew 5:15-16, 1 Timothy 1:17. What do these passages say/imply about worship? If worship is who we are, how does this affect or how should this affect how we are

supposed to live?

* Living Sent- Is who we are supposed to be, baptized, living in worship, and sent out to live that out in the world. How do you live sent in the world? When we live fully in worship, realizing we are called and baptized how does that affect our life, our mindset,

our emotions?

* What are ways you can live more fully present in your relationship with Jesus in this time of seemingly constant change and flux? How can you live more sent in your life without feeling like you are adding “one more thing” to an already busy life? How can you fully embody worship?
