« Back to Beyond the Message

How to use it: After watching/listening to this week’s message, from September 24, 2023, use the questions to go deeper into the message, with your group…or on your own. The questions will introduce you to the topic, reflect content from the sermon, go ‘Beyond the Message’, & get you thinking about practical applications for your life.
