If you did not get a chance to come out last night we have posted the podcast here. Here are some questions for you that can hopefully get the discussions going this week.
1.) What are some of the things that you put a lot of hope in that will happen "one day" in your life?
2.) Can you think of some of the positive things that have come from a hope and faith in "One Day"?
3.) Can you think of some negative things that have come from focusing too much on "One Day"?
Read this quote from Fred Craddock -
“Everyone had a sermon under the title ‘When the Messiah Comes’ a message including every hope, every dream, every ideal condition for which the heart longs. It is no wonder that the church’s message that the Messiah has come and he is Jesus has not been as popular. To believe the Messiah has come means we can no longer shape him to fit our dreams; he shapes us to fit God’s will. That is a difficult adjustment. There is enough misery in the world to make the message that a Messiah will come believable; there is enough misery in the world to make the message that the Messiah has come unbelievable. The first and major task of a Messiah is to get people to quit looking for one.”

4.) Do you agree that it is easier to gather a crowd around the idea that messiah is coming one day, rather than the belief that the Messiah has already come? Why?
5.) What are some things that you know you want to have in your life "One Day" that you are (or should be) working towards today?
6.) Is there any ways that you as the family of Christ can help each other with those things?
