While society often tells us that we must put more effort into everything we do, the reality is that we truly need more Jesus. When we shift from a “more effort” to “more Jesus” mindset, we’ll realize that Jesus has done more for us than we could ever hope. And He will do more through us than we could ever imagine.

Jesus’ miraculous resurrection changed everything for us, giving us hope, love, grace, and life. When you pause and consider the death and resurrection of Jesus, how does it force a hard reset on the way you view both your life and others?   

A time to reflect on and remember the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made on the cross so that we might have life to the fullest.

Do you think there is a deeper desire to build a legacy or to suppress an insecurity of our meaning in life? While it’s not uncommon to struggle with insecurities, we have the great blessing of God giving us his one and only son to help relieve those feelings.

In Genesis 10, God wants us to see that we all come from the same family of Noah. Is this a new thought for you? Keeping this in mind, we can view our family tree from a fresh and broader perspective.   

What do you do when you see the brokenness of the world around you? And even the brokenness in your own life and relationships? We can trust God to pave a different and better way for us when we walk with Him for guidance and direction.

As we see in Genesis, Noah was obedient to God’s Word, walking faithfully with Him. Think about your own life. Do you walk with God, clinging to His promises even as you experience the hardships of your calling to follow Jesus in a sinful world?

Is your life about living life the way you want or walking with God? As we see in Genesis, sin was introduced into the world. And the only way to break the cycle of sin is to walk consistently and faithfully with God.    

What do you notice about the progress of civilization, such as technology and education, and the deterioration of humanity? Do you think these advancements have changed the propensity of humans to sin against each other? As we’re reminded in Genesis, regular, public worship is necessary to both help maintain our relationship with God and to make sure we’re living according to His ways.

As we see in Genesis, the sin of Adam and Eve had significant consequences for the world. While sin entered the world at that time and we all make our own messes today, the good news is that we always have God’s Word for direction and guidance. And when we stray from God’s Word, all we have to do is turn back to Him to experience renewed hope even in the midst of chaos.
