~ FROM THE MESSAGE ~
Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? - Romans 2:4
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! - 2 Corinthians 5:17
That’s what baptism into the life of Jesus means. When we are lowered into the water, it is like the burial of Jesus; when we are raised up out of the water, it is like the resurrection of Jesus. Each of us is raised into a light-filled world by our Father so that we can see where we’re going in our new grace-sovereign country. Could it be any clearer? Our old way of life was nailed to the cross with Christ, a decisive end to that sin-miserable life—no longer at sin’s every beck and call! What we believe is this: If we get included in Christ’s sin-conquering death, we also get included in his life-saving resurrection. - Romans 6: 3-10
Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.
For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths. But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you. - 2 Timothy 4:2-5

~ COFFEE QUESTIONS ~
1. What’s a step you've taken that ended up changing your life? (new job, going back to school, trying a new sport or hobby, etc.)
2. Garry compared faith to a journey that begins with one step. Looking back on your life, what has been one significant step in your faith journey? (reading the Bibleregularly, being baptised, going on a mission trip, joining a connection group, etc.)
3. The new TMP mission statement is "To help people take their next step toward Jesus." What do you think your current "next step" might be? What makes that step seem exciting or intimidating to you?
4. One of the key ideas from the message was that baptism doesn't make someone a Christian; it's an outward expression of an inward commitment. How does understanding baptism this way change or reinforce your perspective? If you've been baptized, what did it mean to you? If not, what questions do you still have?
5. Read Romans 2:4. Garry talked about how repentance simply means "to turn around" and that God's kindness (not guilt or shame) is what leads us toward Him. Why do you think many people associate repentance with condemnation instead of grace? How has God's kindness helped change your life?
6. Peter and Emily's story reminded us that following Jesus often means taking new steps, even when they're difficult or uncertain. What is an area of your life where you sense God inviting you to trust Him with your next step?
