Welcome to Daylight Saving Time! I hope you got enough sleep last night and are ready to worship God
with us. We just concluded our series on Big Church and I want to thank you for your great feedbacks.
Thank you for wanting to play a part of being church in this world. As we continue to pray for our
new building, it is important to always remember that church is not an institution nor a building, but a
movement. I want to encourage you to continue to pray bold prayers, give boldly, volunteer boldly and
invite boldly. We need all of you to make an impact in this community, in this city and in this world.

Today we are so honored to have Dr. Libby Vincent with us. She was my seminary professor when I
was studying at Fuller. I have asked her to continue on the topic of church and especially relating to a
topic that I rose about being both Truth and Grace. I believed she is going to continue to challenge us in
thinking and rethinking about being the church, and how we respond to the challenge will determine if
we remain on mission as being the church. Please give her a very warm welcome!

Changing Your Mind

“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The
expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
Luke 10:36-37

Discussion Questions

1. In what ways do you find yourself in the position of receiving mercy or giving mercy?

2. Are there individuals or groups that you find it difficult to see as a neighbor? Why?

3. How do you think the Church in general and your church can reach out in mercy to its neighbors?

4. How do you think you can hold the tension of giving mercy but staying true to your beliefs?
