Whippersnappers

 Christians often like to recall the story of Jesus cleansing the temple (John 2) but also don't want their own services or practices disrupted. What Christian practices do you think Jesus would disrupt today?

Personal Temple Brags

Jesus clears the temple in John 2 to restore it to worship, not profit. Then He calls His own body a temple, confronting us with a sharper question: are our bodies instruments of worship or tools for self‑gain and harm. In what ways do you use your temple to oppress others?

Transformations

John 2 shows Jesus turning water into wine—a sign of His power to transform. But not all change honors Him. How have you or your church drifted from being true witnesses of God's goodness?

Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, but not our teacher?

 Many Christians call Jesus a personal friend while forgetting that He came chiefly to teach (for example Matt 5-7). Do you sidestep His words by appealing to other passages, or do you let His teachings shape your life today?

Happy? New Year

 May the new year inspire us to bear witness to the love of God in our hearts, words, and deeds. John 1

Merry Christmas

May you find the hope and happiness of Christ during this season. 

Song of the Season

 Maybe it's appropriate that we fill our hearts with song during the Advent season. After receiving Elizabeth's prophetic proclamation, Mary can't seem to help but burst out in song (Luke 1). What kind of songs do you find bursting from your lips when you consider the hope that is in Christ?
