Model for Community of Believers: “All who believed were together...Attending temple together and breaking bread in their homes.” (Acts 2:44, 46) The Solution: “Life change happens best in small groups.” Change =>growth = good No growth = stagnation => death The Problem: “I don’t need another thing to do in my busy life.” “Even if I had time, the groups are just too far.” “Plus I’m not comfortable with other people (introverted).” Myths: More time = more belonging More proximity = more belonging More personality = more belonging Essentials (From John 21:1-14): 1. Living life together. (v.2-3) “[The disciples] were together.” 2. Growing in Jesus Christ together. (v.12-13) “Iron sharpens iron.” (Proverbs 27:17)

When Church Feels More Like a Social Club… May 5 message Today I have an important update to give you, and I’d like to clothe it in this message, so here goes: Jogging I would like to share with you one of my newfound hobbies. For the past year I have really enjoyed something that as a younger man I hated, and never could understand other people enjoying. Crazy thing is that now I get it, and I love it. I’m talking about jogging. Any runners in the room? I can’t explain the love of jogging, I can’t explain it better than just to say that joggers are strange people who love pain. I started off running 1 mile. And today 10 months later after steady incremental growth I am now jogging (pause) 1.2 miles. (I’m kidding) Just a little more, 3.6. Definitely nothing to brag about. But it goes like this the 1st mile, I have my headphones on, My head is up, nice steady pace, I am listening to a podcast and Itȁ

“Whatever you ask in my name, my Father will give you.” Some scholars attempt to explain it (away)... But James offers balance: two dangers in prayer Not Asking Asking Selfishly Back to Jesus’ promise - “Ask whatever you wish” (Why didn’t Jesus bring balance to this statement?)

We have heard God wants us to ask Him freely in prayer. And ask away we do. But what if we feel God is not answering us, or answering in a way we don’t like. We get frustrated, discouraged, and even angry with God. So what’s up with unanswered prayer? Sure feels like we are alone, like being in the desert. Helpful to know that: 1. More important than asking is to listen. John 13:21-25 (ESV), v. 25 “Lying on Jesus’ breast.” (KJV) 2. Unanswered prayer is a myth. Often we just don’t recognize God’s voice. (“Yes, No, Not Yet”) John 10:27-28 (ESV) The sheep know their shepherd’s voice. 3. Unanswered prayer often makes us feel like we are in the “desert”, but it is in the desert (desolate places, wilderness) we will meet God. (Paradox of suffering.) Matthew 4:1-2 (ESV) Spent time in the wilderness.&#
