Message: Ps Geoff Shepherd – Peter: Just a Fisherman
No. 13 – What’s Your Legacy?
Message Discussion Questions:
- We spoke in the message about a “Beyond-Life Purpose”. Have you ever thought of this concept before? If so, have you thought up, or articulated, your beyond-life purpose?
- If you survey what we know of Peter’s life – fisherman in Bethsaida, to the leader of the early church, to (most probably) crucifixion as a martyr for Jesus – what does it say to you about your “ordinary” life?
- Read 2 Peter 1:12-15 (which Peter wrote towards the end of his life). We especially spoke about the legacy, or the overarching message, of Peter’s life – (i) the comfort God gives in trials (eg 1 Peter 4:12-13); (ii) the sacrifice the Saviour made (eg 1 Peter 2:24-25); (iii) the certainty of the future (eg 1 Peter 1:3-6), and (iv) the urgency of a (Godly) set-apart life (eg 1 Peter 1:13-16). Take a look over this message again, and then think through how this all impacts on you.
- Read Ephesians 2:10, Psalm 57:2, and Peter 1:3-4. Has God said or done anything as you’ve looked this over – specifically, speaking into your own purpose and meaning in life?

No. 11 – Breaking Out of the Mould!
Message Discussion Questions:
- How would you feel if there were plans to build an Islamic mosque next door to Mill Park Baptist Church? Or in your street? What would you do?
- Over the last few years, as we’ve seen a change in the face of our church, especially towards multi-ethnicity, has it ever made you feel a bit uneasy? Or a bit put out? [ It’s okay, you can be honest 🙂 ]
- Read through the story of Cornelius, and his men, and Peter and his men (Acts 10:1-18). What stands out to you?
- If we say that Jesus seemed particularly headed for “outsiders” (ie non-religious types) with his good news, how do you react?
- We’ve said that the mission is for all of us who follow Jesus, that it doesn’t distinguish between people, and that it’s especially for “outsiders” – does this mean any change for you? If so, can you explain it?

No. 10 – When You’re Pressured to Shut Up!
Message Discussion Questions:
- Can you tell a story of a time when you had an opportunity to stand up for Jesus but you felt scared or embarrassed or ashamed?
- What is it that makes us ashamed or embarrassed about this?
- Have you ever said to yourself something like, “Well I’m just not the type to speak up for Jesus!” Why have you felt that?
- Read Matthew 5:13 and 1 Peter 3:15 – preferably in a few different bible versions; and slowly and thoughtfully. What do you take out of them? What is Jesus asking of us? Of you?

No. 8 – Here’s What Jesus Wants You to Do!
Message Discussion Questions:
- Don’t Oversell Your Cooking
In what ways have you tried to justify your thoughts and your actions? What does it look like to let the truth say all that it says without trying to add or subtract to it? (In a non-threatening loving way) - Forget About The Burnt Toast
What past mistakes have you been holding on to, allowing them to weigh you down? How can you let them go and move towards the future, acknowledging Jesus has already paid for them and forgiven you? - Focus On Your Own Cooking
Do you find you compare yourself to others? What are the unique gifts and talents God has given you? How might you focus on God and use those gifts for his glory as opposed to wasting your energy on comparison? - Jesus Wants You To Feed His People
How can you use these questions as a launching pad in your ability to be someone who feeds God’s people?

Message: Ps Kathy Pitman – Peter: Just a Fisherman
No. 7 – When Jesus Really Loves You!
Message Discussion Questions:
God’s extravagant love brings undeniable change.
God loves us and desires to have a relationship with us!
- Read John 3:16; James 4:8 and 1 John 4:9-11. From these verses, write down what shows you that Jesus wants to have a relationship with you? Has knowing this changed your life? In what way?
- Read through Romans 8:35-39. What are those “things” that CANNOT separate you from the love of God? Is there one in particular that stands out to you – a promise you needed to hear today concerning His love?
God loves us and forgives us when we come to Him in humility!
- Read Luke 22:54-62. Discuss what Peter would have felt in that moment Jesus looked at him.
- Then read Matthew 28:1-8 and compare with Mark 16:5-7 What is the difference between each account? (Look in particular at Mark 16:7) Why do you think Peter was singled out in this way?
- Read John 21:15-17. Why do you think Jesus asked this question three times?
Peter became a changed man! We can see proof of this change in Peter further on in the Bible as it shows us of how Peter went on and grew in maturity.
- Has knowing God’s forgiveness towards you changed you? If so, in what ways? Is there an area you need to hand over to God and seek His forgiveness?

Message: Ps Geoff Shepherd – Peter: Just a Fisherman
No. 6 – Tough Times Ahead!
Message Discussion Questions:
- How did it feel for you to hear that – if you’re one of his followers – Jesus prays for you? What do you imagine him praying for? How do you imagine him praying?
- As we said in the message – our modern day verses and chapters in the bible are only there for our sake; they weren’t part of the original manuscript. With that in mind, take a read of John 13:31-14:4. What do you make of the marvellous wonder – of Jesus acknowledging that Peter would deny him, and immediately saying that he’d go to prepare a place for him and that he’d then come and get him to be with him always?
- Have you had a time (or times) in life where you felt utterly devastated and crushed by the weight of something you’d said or done that was wrong? Can you identify with how Peter must have felt?
- What’s your feeling to know that Jesus says about you – if you’re one of his followers – “…. [insert your name] is mine!”? As you’re answering, if you’ve got time, read Romans chapter 8. If you’re short of time, just read verses 1-2.

- Check out Matthew 19:26-30. What does Jesus mean when he says ‘…will receive a hundred times as much in return and will have eternal life’?
- Read Hebrews 11:1-2, 6. Do you want to have faith? Why?

No. 4 – Mighty Power Unleashed!
Message Discussion Questions:
Read Scripture: Matthew 16:13-20
- What’s been the one of the most difficult losses you’ve experienced so far in this season of COVID-19? What does this tell you about where you draw strength and security from?
- In a group of your acquaintance, if you took a straw poll, what sorts of answers would you get to the question, ‘Who do you say Jesus is?’
- When have you seen God’s power released in an unlikely place, person or way? Tell the story.
- Where do you long to see the power of God released in your life and/or in the world?
- If Jesus asked you the question, ‘Who do you say I am?’, what would your answer be?
- Pray the Lord’s Prayer together.
Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. (Matthew 6:9-13 NLT)

No. 3 – If You Want to Follow Jesus!
Message Discussion Questions:
- We said that being a “disciple” of Jesus, or following Jesus, at its most rudimentary level, is copying Jesus. Is that a new principle for you to hear or learn? Whether it’s new or not, what do you think of the idea that following Jesus is really about copying him?
- Making some assumptions about Jesus… that he attracts spiritual warfare. Read Ephesians 6:10-18 and 2 Corinthians 2:11. How alert are you to spiritual warfare?
- Being gentle… being compassionate. How do gentleness and compassion show themselves in someone?
- Check out Mark 1:35. Jesus leaves the house while it’s still dark, well before dawn, so he can pray – and that’s after a huge and draining day and evening of interaction with all sorts of problems and people. If Jesus needed to do that, do you need to? How’s your praying?
- What’s the number one thing you need to do to make a step or two closer to seriously “copying” Jesus?

Message Discussion Questions:
- We said that any time we think Jesus wants us ‘going deeper’, it can seem to conjure up things like anger, resentment, dread, or fear, just to name a few. What’s your reaction to that? What do you think? Is that a fair assumption to make?
- Have you felt Jesus calling you to go deeper? How did that happen? How did it make you feel?
- If you’re told that Jesus has a big – VERY BIG – call for you, how does that make you feel?
- How might Jesus be calling you – and taking you deep?

Ps Adam Deveson – “Break a Leg”
Message Discussion Questions:
- What’s a situation in your life when you really felt like you were doing the right thing or absolutely crushing something, only to be told you’ve gotten it wrong?
- Do you know and understand what it looks like to be obedient to God? How can you work it out if you don’t know?
- Do you find yourself in bad rut, with a bad mindset? How can praising God lift you out of that space?
- What would it look like for you to seize the day? Living with no regrets in isolation?
If you had to write a list of 3-5 things you want to get better at or accomplish during isolation, what would they be?
Is using your extra time to really focus on your relationship with Jesus on of them?
