From October 12, 2025 Sermon – Genesis 21:1-7

1) Why is it so easy to be biased towards our own culture and biased against anything different?  How do those biases create or perpetuate idols?

2) How do “gospel honesty” and “gospel delight” work against our idols and lead us into a spirit of hospitality?

3) The sermon spoke of: tamping down the impulse to look askance at anything that feels foreign, but rather growing in curiosity, that leads to interest, that leads to love, that leads to bringing all of our cultural gifts and actually laying them down at the feet of Jesus.  Consider Haggai 2:6-9 and some ways that you can put that into practice this week.
