Sermon Talks
- Which type of “overload” or feeling of hitting your limit resonated most with you this season, and why?
- What is one area of your life right now where you feel you are currently asking God for “just enough,” rather than believing for “above and beyond”?
- What is a small, specific problem you tend to ask God to solve, and what might a corresponding, “above and beyond” answer from God look like? (e.g., Asking for patience with a specific person; Above and Beyond could be a transformed, loving relationship with them).
- Pastor Corey issued the challenge: “Stop praying minimalist prayers.” In what area (e.g., sin, family, work, finances) are you willing to increase the size of your prayer goal for 2026, and why?
- Practically speaking, what does it mean to “plug in” to the Holy Spirit’s power in your daily routine?
- How does shifting your focus from your own willpower to God’s power in you change how you approach a specific New Year’s challenge or resolution?
- We are challenged to Pass On the Overflow in three ways: generosity, forgiveness, and mission. Which of these three areas is the hardest for you to be “excessive” in, and why?
- The ultimate purpose of God’s abundance is His Glory, not our comfort. What is one practical step you can take this week to live “above and beyond” in your love or service as a direct response to God’s grace? (e.g., committing to a new ministry, radical forgiveness, etc.)
Pray about it: Meditate on God’s Word (Ephesians 3:20-21) and this week’s message.
Adoration: What can I praise God for in light of what this teaches me?
Confession: What sin can I confess because of what this teaches me?
Thanksgiving: What can I thank God for in light of what he has done?
Supplication: What do I need to ask of God in order to grow in light of this?
