How did you react in that moment? Grow G1: Matthew 27:51-53 | What stands out to you most among the physical reactions in creation at the moment of Jesus' death, such as the tearing of the temple curtain, the splitting of rocks, or the opening of tombs? G2: Matthew 27:51| The torn temple curtain symbolizes God breaking down the barrier between Himself and humanity. How does knowing you have direct access to God change the way you approach Him in daily prayer and worship? G3: Nahum 1:5-6, Psalm 78:15-16 | Dan notes that splitting rocks represents both God's judgment against evil powers and His miraculous provision of life-giving water. How do you see both of these truths displayed at the cross? G4: Ezekiel 37:11-14 | In what ways does the vision of dry bones receiving life reflect the resurrection power demonstrated when Jesus died and the tombs opened? G5: Matthew 27:54 | Jesus was not the military or political Messiah many people expected. In what areas of your life are you tempted to make Jesus fit your own expectations rather than accepting Him as He is? G6: Matthew 27:54 | When the Roman centurion witnessed the earthquake and all that happened, he was terrified and recognized Jesus as the Son of God. How should awe and reverent fear shape our trust in Christ today? Show S1: Matthew 27:52-53, Ezekiel 37:14 | Dan notes that as Christians, we are "dead people who are now living." What is one practical step you can take this week to live out that new life and point someone else to Jesus?

Cornerstone Wesleyan Church, North Gower is taking 2026 to read through and preach through the Bible using the "One Story That Leads To Jesus" Bible reading plan (created by "The Bible Project").
To this end, Pastor Nate and Pastor Dan are recording their usual "sermon prep" conversation as a podcast so you can get a bird’s eye view of the process, and perhaps grow in your own understanding and faith. This conversation is rough and unfinished, and not everything we talk about will make its way into the final teaching. But it hopefully gives you some additional food for thought.

Read Matthew 13:24–30, 37–43. What does Jesus’ explanation tell us about the wheat, the weeds, the enemy, and the harvest? What does this parable teach us about God’s patience and his coming judgment? Grow G1. Read Matthew 13:28–30 and 1 Corinthians 4:5. Why do you think we are so quick to judge and categorize people as “in” or “out”? How might trusting God as the ultimate Judge change the way we look at other people? G2. Read Matthew 9:35–38. Jesus looked at the crowds with compassion rather than contempt. How does this challenge the way we think about people who don’t yet follow Jesus? Who are the “weeds” in your life whom God may be calling you to see as a mission field rather than an enemy? Show S1. Read Matthew 9:37–38 and 10:1–8. Jesus tells his disciples to pray for workers and then sends them out as workers themselves. Who is one person or group you can begin praying for, and what might it look like for you to be part of the answer to that prayer?

How often does inquiring of God come first rather than as a last resort? Grow G1: The Danger of Lip Service [1 Chronicles 13:1-4] David expressed a desire to seek God's will, yet the assembly ultimately proceeded because it "seemed right to the people." Why is it so easy to pay lip service to seeking God while actually relying on human consensus or common sense? G2: Unintended Consequences [1 Chronicles 13:9-10] The tragedy with Uzzah occurred because David neglected to consult God's revealed instructions for moving the Ark. How can acting out of good intentions—without aligning with God's word—lead to harmful spiritual or relational outcomes? G3: Counterfeit Sources of Guidance [1 Chronicles 10:13-14] Saul's downfall was tied to seeking direction from a medium instead of inquiring of the Lord. What modern "mediums" or alternative sources of truth do people turn to today when they feel God is silent or taking too long? G4: The Direct "Yes" [1 Chronicles 14:8-10] After the failure with the Ark, David specifically inquired of God before facing the Philistines and received a clear, direct answer. What steps can we take to cultivate a heart that listens for and recognizes God's direct answers? G5: Specific Strategic Blueprints [1 Chronicles 14:13-16] In the second battle, God provided David with a detailed, step-by-step strategy involving the poplar trees rather than a simple "go." Has there been a time in your life when God gave you a specific path or process to follow rather than just an immediate outcome? G6: Consulting the Manual [Exodus 25:12, Numbers 4:15] God had already revealed in Scripture how the Ark was to be carried, but David failed to check the guidelines. In what areas of life do we often ask God for fresh direction when His wisdom and clear instructions are already written in His Word? Show S1: Practical Inquiries This Week [1 Chronicles 15:10] Identify one current situation, decision, or battle in your life where you need to pause and actively inquire of God. What specific step will you take this week to pray, search the Scriptures, and listen for His direction?
