por Pastor Rory Roberts
This experience looks at the story of the ten lepers Jesus healed, and the one who returned to give thanks. His simple act of gratitude set him apart and showed a heart that recognized God’s grace. The passage reminds us that gratitude isn’t just a response but a way of seeing God at work in everyday life. When we pause to thank Him, our faith deepens and our perspective shifts. This sermon invites us to be like the one who came back, people marked by gratitude.
Hannah’s story in 1 Samuel 1 shows that true prayer is born from honesty, faith, and surrender. She poured out her heart to God, trusted Him before seeing results, and dedicated her blessing back to Him. When we pray like Hannah, God not only answers — He transforms our hearts.
In Exodus 24–32, the Israelites grow impatient waiting for Moses and turn to a golden calf, choosing what they could see over trusting the unseen God. This experience explores how impatience leads to poor decisions and reminds us that waiting on God is never wasted—it’s where faith and character are refined.
For this bible study, we learn about how the Israelites grew impatient waiting for Moses and turned to Aaron, a leader who feared people more than God. Together, they crafted a golden calf, wanting other gods instead of the true God who had delivered them. Their story reminds us that true leadership stays anchored in God’s voice, not the noise of the crowd or the idols of the moment.
For this experience, we’re reminded of the depth of God’s love — that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to rescue us when our sin was as filthy as vomit before a holy God. We couldn’t save ourselves, but Jesus took our place on the cross so we could be made new. For those who are saved, God has given His Spirit to empower us to overcome the pull of the flesh and live in victory. And if you haven’t yet surrendered your life to Jesus, this is your call — tomorrow is not promised. Eternity is real. Where will you spend it...heaven or hell? The choice is yours, and Jesus is waiting with open arms.
When Peter and Jesus needed money for the temple tax, Jesus told Peter to find it in a fish’s mouth, and he did. This story reminds us that when we’re believing God for a miracle, obedience opens the door. God already has our provision waiting. We just have to trust and act in faith.
In this experience, we explore how God calls us to move forward in obedience rather than remain stuck in what He’s already left behind. Saul’s story reminds us that sacrifice means nothing without obedience, and our free will gives us the daily choice to follow God’s direction or our own. When we choose obedience, we align ourselves with God’s will and step into the destiny He’s already prepared for us.
For this experience, we explore the power of transparency—how bringing our struggles and sins into the light isn’t about shame, but about God’s redeeming grace. When we’re honest about where we’ve been and what God has brought us through, He can use our testimony to reach people who need hope. Just as Christ calls us to “go and tell,” our stories become living evidence of His mercy and love. God doesn’t just forgive; He redeems and uses what the enemy meant for harm to save lives. Be bold. Be real. And remember, Jesus commands us to “go and make disciples of all nations.”
In Exodus 14, God gave the Israelites a clear command: “Go forward.” Even with the Red Sea before them and Pharaoh’s army behind, God called them out of fear and into faith. Too often, we get stuck in the in-between—hesitating, doubting, or looking back. But just as God parted the waters for Israel, He makes a way for us when we choose to move forward in obedience.
For this experience, we are reminded Ephesians 6 tells us to put on God’s armor. In the garden, Eve listened to the serpent and Adam stayed silent. They didn’t seek God first, and that opened the door for the enemy. He didn’t need force—just doubt. Jesus shows us the better way. When tempted, He stood firm in God’s Word. That’s our example too: seek God first, stay armored, and stand strong.
