So They Will See - Sunday 3/15

Opening Question

1. Seeing Others in the Middle of Pain

While hanging on the cross, Jesus still noticed the needs of Mary and John (John 19:26–27).
What does it teach us about the heart of Jesus that He focused on caring for others even in His own suffering? How does that challenge the way we respond when we’re going through hard seasons?

2. Family Beyond Blood

Jesus created a new kind of family by connecting Mary and John. Passages like Galatians 6:10 and 1 Timothy 5:1–2 call believers to treat one another like family.
When have you experienced the church feeling like true family? What helped create that environment?

3. Making Needs Known

The message highlighted that sometimes we know others’ needs, but other times we have to make our needs known(Galatians 6:2).
Why can it be difficult to both ask for help and offer help within the church family? What helps create a safe place where people can share burdens honestly?

4. LIVE IT OUT: Expanding Your Circle

The message emphasized caring for people beyond our comfort zone.
Who is someone in your church or community who might need encouragement, support, or connection right now? What is one practical step you could take this week to show them they are not alone?

5. LIVE IT OUT: Practicing “Inhale and Exhale”

The church is meant to be a place where we both carry burdens (serve/exhale) and allow others to care for us (receive/inhale) (Galatians 6:2).
This week, what is one way you can intentionally “exhale” by serving someone—and one way you can “inhale” by letting someone pray for you or help you?
