I Have a Problem With: the Church

Here are some questions to help you process this message and apply it to your life:

1. How long have you attended TMP? How did you hear about TMP? (friend, web search etc.)

2. What has the church (or TMP) meant to you? How has it influenced you?

3. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus said: “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavour? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. (Matt. 5:13-16) Practically speaking, what do you think being salt and light looks like?

4. Luke 5:19-20 tells the story of some men who pulled out all the stops in order to get their friend to Jesus. How do you think - with God’s help - we could transform Nanaimo? Does being a roof buster excite you or freak you out?

5. What was the most interesting topic in this series to you? The Existence of God, Faith & Science, Hypocrisy, Hell, Pain & Suffering, Exclusivity, the Bible or the Church? Is that the one you have the biggest problem with?
