Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | May 24, 2026

Referenced Scripture:

Genesis 2:20-25, Genesis 3:7, 1 Corinthians 5:12-13, Hebrews 4:15-16, Romans 12:1-2

Reflection Questions:

1. How would you explain the biblical teaching about God’s plan for a healthy and holy expression of our sexuality? Do you agree or disagree with this teaching? Why or why not?

2. How would you describe the culture's view of human sexuality?

3. How do these different views create tension for a person that wants to follow Jesus? How have you personally experienced or observed that tension? In your opinion, how has the church done at navigating that tension in the culture? What have we done well? What have we done poorly? Explain.

4. Every person is mixture of hundreds of desires that are aligned and misaligned with the perspective of Jesus regarding sexuality. How is a person to navigate these desires as a follower of Jesus? How are we to discern what to do with our desires? (especially those that don’t align with Jesus?) How can we learn to say no to those desires?

5. Why does submitting our desires to the redemptive care of Jesus require a lot of trust in His character and message? What do we need to believe about Jesus to trust him with our sexual desires?

6. Do you believe that Jesus lived a fulfilling life? Why or why not?
Do you think that Jesus had all the same desires that we have as humans? Why or why not?
Jesus lived his life as an unmarried man, who never had sex, and never had children, and had all the same temptations that we have (Hebrews 4:15-16)
Do you think that we can also live a fulfilled life without those desires fulfilled? Explain.
What do we need to experience a fulfilled and meaningful life if some of those desires are never fulfilled?

7. What is the role of the community of believers in helping us process the desires and brokenness of our sexuality? What makes involving others in this difficult or uncomfortable? How can you take steps to involve other people in helping you navigate your sexuality and desires?

8. Why is it important for us to acknowledge the reality that we all experience brokenness in our sexuality? What is the danger of only pointing to the brokenness of others in the culture and not naming/owning/confessing our own brokenness?

9. What is your next step in bringing your sexuality and desires into full alignment with the redemptive teaching of Jesus? Who will you process this with?

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | May 17, 2026 9am

Referenced Scripture: John 14:6, Ephesians 2:8-9, Colossians 3:12, 2 Corinthians 5:14-15

Reflection Questions:
1. In your experience of our culture, what do people tend to appreciate about Jesus and what do they find difficult about Jesus?

2. Read John 14:6 — Why does Jesus’ exclusive claim cause resistance in our culture? How have you experienced people’s response to the exclusivity of Jesus? Explain.

3. Gandhi said, “Religions are different roads converging to the same point. What does it matter that we take a different road, so long as we reach the same goal? Wherein is the cause for quarreling?” — What makes this view from Ghandi more popular and a more acceptable way to look at differing religions and worldviews?

4. “All religions basically teach the same thing.” (Agree/Disagree) Why? Explain. What are some ways that different religions can overlap?

5. Law of Non-Contradiction: Contradictory propositions cannot both be true in the same sense at the same time. Put Aristotle’s law in your own words. Does this make sense to you? Why or why not? Give an example of how this is true.

6. What are some core truth claims of different world religions that are contradictory to one another? Does it make sense to you that they can’t all be true at the same time? Why or why not?

7. What are some core truth claims of Jesus and Christianity? How could someone investigate if these claims are true? Are you convinced of the truth claims of Jesus? Why or why not?

8. What are some unique beliefs of Christianity that are different from other world religions?

9. Read Ephesians 2:8-9 — Put this verse in your own words. Why is the concept of grace unique from other world religions? Explain why salvation is the work of God and not the work of people? What is our role in salvation? Why is boasting not a response to grace?

10. How does the exclusivity of the message of Christianity create urgency to share the message with the world? What is the posture of a Jesus follower that is communicating the message of salvation? (Read Colossians 3:12)

11. Why is there no room for arrogance in the posture of a follower of Jesus sharing the message of Jesus

12. How is God nudging you to take a next step as a result of this message?

Brian Priebe | Executive Pastor | May 10, 2026

Referenced Scripture:
Acts 17:16-27
Reflection Questions:
1. What's one thing that stood out to you from the sermon and why?

2. How would you describe your relationship with science?

3. What are Biblical examples of how science and faith can come into contact?

4. One of Brian's main points was that believers need to use the right tools for the right tasks as we share our faith. What examples of this do you see throughout the Bible or even just in regular life?

5. Brian's focal point was that science best answers questions related to HOW the natural world works and faith best answers questions related to WHY the natural world is. Do you agree or disagree? Why?

6. Read Acts 17:16-27 What elements of Paul's interactions with the Athenians offer clues to how we might engage people that have a science bend?

7. What would the church look like if everyone took Paul's cues in interacting with people outside the faith, especially those where science is most influential?

8. What are your thoughts around Genesis 1 and the definition of a day?

9. Brian cited the use of Yom as the Hebrew word for day in Genesis 1 as also being the same word describing various periods of time. He referenced Genesis 2:2, 4:3, 43:9 and 44:32. What do you think about the various uses of Yom in Genesis?

10. What might be a next step for you related to the interaction of science and faith and the people in your sphere?

Reflection Questions:
1. What was one thing from the sermon that stuck out to you?

2. 2 Timothy 3:1616 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, What questions do you have about the reliability of the Bible? What objections have you heard from others about the reliability of the Bible?

3. Do any of those objections create questions or doubts for you? Why or why not?

4. Do you have answers that help you remove those objections from your questions/doubts? Explain.

5. Read 1 Corinthians 15:14-19What convinces you that the bodily resurrection of Jesus was an actual event in human history? What does our faith rest or fall on this one singular event? What objections might there be to this having actually happened? What could be an answer to these objections?

6. What evidence for the reliability of the Bible from the sermon was helpful to you? What questions about the Bible’s reliability would it be helpful for you to explore? How will you engage this?

7. Read Hebrews 4:12How can the Bible impact our life through reading/studying/reflecting on it? How have you seen this accomplished in your life? If this is true, why do you think so many Christians struggle to make time to hear from God in the Scriptures? What is your plan to regularly allow God to speak to you from the Scriptures?

8. Read Matthew 7:24The Bible is only authoritative in our lives if we actually DO what God says to us from the Scriptures. What parts of the Bible have you had a difficult time obeying? What is your next step in obedience to God’s Word?

Vern Streeter  |  Guest Speaker  |  April 12, 2026

Referenced Scripture: 

Joshua 2, Matthew 1:5-6, Hebrews 10:31, James 2:25-26

Reflection Questions:

1. The story of Rahab is well known. She is famous. Did you learn anything new? How was the sermon on Joshua 2 impactful for you?

2. What difference does it make in your life that, like Rahab stated, “…the Lord your God, is God in heaven above and on earth below.” (Joshua 2:11)

3. Isn’t it interesting that Rahab is celebrated in the New Testament by Matthew, Hebrews, and James? (Matthew 1:5-6; Hebrews 11:31; James 2:25-26) Why do you think James uses Rahab as an example of “Faith without works is dead?” 

4. Right now, are you hanging tightly to a rope that is being lowered by someone else – why and who is on the Rahab end of the rope?  And, who are you lowering – who is depending on you for their spiritual life? That’s a lot of responsibility. How can we help you stay strong for someone you care about? 

5. Bonus discussion: Vern said Rahab did a bad thing but did the right thing. How is that possible? Can you think of other similar circumstances? Have you ever faced such an ethical dilemma? 

6. A mind-bending morality-challenging deeper dive:

Ethicists offer three main views:

     A. The “Lie was sinful but used by God” view.

* Rahab did the right thing (protecting life)

* But used a wrong method (lying – a violation of the 9th commandment)

* God honored her faith despite moral imperfection.

This keeps moral absolutes intact.

     B. The “Higher moral law” view.

* Protecting life is more important that telling the truth.

This is called “graded absolutism.”

     C. The “Wartime ethics” view

* She lied in a time of war.

* Deception in war (like espionage) is not morally equivalent to everyday lying.

This is military resistance, not private morality.

Discuss!

7. From this, what do we learn about God and His relationship with us?

That’s all very interesting and worth discussing, but please don’t let it overshadow the call on your life to not “drop the rope” for the people depending on you…

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | April 5, 2026

Referenced Scripture:
Colossians 2:13-14, Philippians 3:8-21, John 20:19, 1 Corinthians 15:20, John 3:16-18

Reflection Questions:
1. What is your observation of the “cancel culture” that we live in today? How would you describe “cancel culture”? What are some examples you have seen of people today being cancelled? Would you say that cancelling people is fair or unfair? Explain your answer. How might it feel to be cancelled by the world around you?

2. Big Idea: Jesus did not come to cancel people, but to cancel sin.
Read Colossians 2:13-14, John 3:16-18
How does it feel to know that Jesus has cancelled your sin but will never cancel you? How can we know that Jesus will never cancel us? How does this change how we might respond to our failures in this life?

3. When you reflect on the resurrection of Jesus what gives you hope and encourages your heart?

4. Read Philippians 3:10-11
How have you experienced the power of the resurrection in your life? (ie. How has your life changed? How have you experienced a growing relationship with Jesus? How have you seen the power of Jesus at work in your life?)

5. Paul says that part of knowing Jesus is participating in the same kind of suffering that He experienced. What kind of suffering did Jesus experience in his life? Why can this be a comforting thought when we are experiencing pain and suffering and loss in our life? Why is it important to understand that that suffering is a normal part of knowing and walking with Jesus?

6. Read 1 Corinthians 15:20
Jesus’ physical resurrection is called the first fruits of our resurrection. What does this verse mean? Reflect on the reality that you will be given a physical body for all of eternity that will not age, decay, get sick, experience pain or loss, suffering, or death…What thoughts does this bring to mind? How does that hit you emotionally? What questions does it raise for you? What hope does this give us? Why?

Referenced Scripture:
Matthew 21:6-11, Acts 4:12

Reflection Questions:
1. When you hear that “Hosanna” means “save us,” what do you feel like you most need saving from right now—externally or internally?

2. What are some things you tend to look towards for security, identity, or relief (control, approval, success, relationships, etc.)?

3. Was there a moment in your life (like the story shared in the sermon) that shaped what you now “look to” for worth or validation?

4. How does the picture of Jesus entering on a donkey—humble, not forceful—challenge or reshape your expectations of God?

Reflection Questions:
1. Read Matthew 28:18-20 — Make some observations about this command of Jesus to All In followers…

2. What is a disciple? What does it mean to make disciples? Does this command extend to followers of Jesus today? Why or why not? Explain.

3. What are your observations of the church today in making disciples? Does it seem that many followers of Jesus have disregarded this command? Explain. Can a person be a mature follower of Jesus and not make disciples?

4. What has been your experience of being discipled by others ? What has been your experience of discipling others? What has been encouraging to you? What has been challenging or frustrating?

5. What barriers have you experienced in trying to invest in the lives of other people? (Helping them learn to know and follow Jesus) How can a person overcome those barriers?

6. Bob mentioned that discipleship is… Relational… Intentional… Transformational… —How would you describe each of these words? Do you agree or disagree with this list? What would you add or change and why?

7. Whom could you move toward today to begin a relationship where you could help them know and follow Jesus? How might you approach them? What is your next step in doing that?

8. How would our church and our valley be different if followers of Jesus took this command to make disciples more seriously? What might it look like if this was increasingly true around Journey? What is your next step to make that a reality?
