Romans 1:8-15

In our final Small Church gathering before summer, we are taking some time to reflect on our journey together. We are going back into the book of Romans to the same text we used for the first Small Church gathering in September. Together we will reflect on the call to “be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith” (Romans 1:12)

Ephesians 4:1-16

In our series, Feeding God’s Sheep, we have been looking at Scripture to answer the questions “Who are God’s sheep?” and “How do we feed them?” Today, for our final Small Church of the series, we will consider the times when we are the ones who are are sheep and explore what it looks like when we are cared for by others.

2 Kings 4: 1-7

This week we are looking at the story of the prophet Elisha, the widow and the jar of oil which doesn’t run out. In this story we see that Elisha is tending to the flock by caring for the widow and those around her. The abundance of oil is not just a quick fix to her money problems, but provides a livelihood for the woman, which benefits her family and community.

Matthew 25: 31-45

This week we are laying the theological groundwork for our series, Feeding God’s Sheep. We are digging into scripture and theology to look closer at what it means to “bear the image of God.”

John 21: 15-19

To introduce to our new series, Feeding God’s Sheep, we are looking at John 21: 15-19. As Peter is told by Jesus to “feed my sheep” we begin to reflect on who God’s sheep are, and what it looks like for us to care for God’s people.
