AN INVITATION TO THE SECOND TABLE

Discussed by Carter Conlon
with Times Square Church New York (www.tscnyc.org/)

Today, Carter Conlon shares a deeply moving Easter special that promises to be one of the most significant messages he has shared in years. In his message, An Invitation to the Second Table, Carter shares a life-changing truth from Scripture that can completely change how you see your hardest moments. He explains that what feels like the end isn’t really the end at all – it can be the doorway to new life through Jesus. This isn’t just another sermon. It’s an invitation to move from simply getting by to truly living in the power of the Resurrection.

OCCUPIED TERRITORY

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 5

Mark Lanier continues with his Romans series this week, looking at Romans 8 and the implications of living in the flesh vs living in the spirit.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

REAL IMPLICATIONS

What are the implications of the spirit living in us? What does this even mean? What does the Last Supper mean to you? Did the disciples have a hard time understanding the concept that Jesus had died and rose again?

Scripture References: John 14:15-17; 14:20; 14:25-26; 15: 26-27; 16:7-15


POINTS FOR HOME (Romans 8:9)

Know your team – but be careful!

Don’t treat the Spirit as a guest.

Follow the leader.


LUNCH TOPIC

What does it mean when problems arise that you “abide in Christ” and “Christ abides in you”?

PRAYER

Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

Heavenly Father,

Today is Good Friday and our eyes, hearts, and minds should be focused completely on you and the sacrifice you made over 2000 years ago when your son died on a cruel cross for our sins.

May all distractions and anxiety be removed. May any hate or unforgiveness be lifted from us.

May we seek opportunities this weekend to share the Truth of the Gospel with others – whether it is a family member who has lost their way or a stranger on the street.

May we be an example of your love and mercy. May we shine brightly for Jesus, in whose name we pray,

Amen
