The Glorious View from the Above + Beyond - Louie Giglio

About this sermon

Pastor Louie launches Passion City Church into the Above + Beyond season by pointing to Jesus, Who is the epitome of what it means to go “Above + Beyond.” Jesus accomplished His self-sacrificing work to draw us to Him as worshipers and break us free from a “system,” “lie,” “view,” and “city.” VERSES // John 12:20-33, Hebrews 13:10-16, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Ephesians 2:4-10 #faith #christian #sermon #passioncity #passioncityatlanta #atlanta #passioncitychurch #atlantachurch #christianity #Jesus #God — With Passion City Online, you can join us every Sunday live at 9:30a and 11:45a, and our gatherings are available on-demand starting at 7p!

It is our privilege, and our created purpose, to reflect God’s Glory to Him through our praise, our sacrifice, and our song. — Follow Passion City Church: https://www.instagram.com/passioncity/ Follow Louie Giglio: https://www.instagram.com/louiegiglio Passion City Church is a Jesus church with locations in Atlanta and Washington D.C. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS // 1. How would you describe what “Above + Beyond” is to someone visiting Passion City Church? 2. Why is it important to be a giver not out of obligation but out of inclination? In your own words, describe the balance we are called to maintain, between “abusing grace” and being legalistic? 3. How is laying aside ‘shame’ up to us? What does it mean that Jesus already did His part in dealing with our shame? 4. What is your “view of you”? In other words, if you are honest, what do you think about yourself in your best and worst moments? 5. Can you think of any passages in Scripture that specifically deal with the identity of people as followers of Jesus? In other words, what Scripture can we have on our minds to combat a “low view of self”? 6. What is the right attitude to have in enjoying the things of life that don’t last - things “in this city”? 7. In your own words, what should “The Shard” remind us of? 8. Why is it that thinking about eternity helps us live generously? 9. Scripture calls us to “present our requests to God” but it also calls us to seek God’s requests for ourselves (Eph. 5:17). Take a moment as a group to pray and ask God to speak to you during the Above + Beyond season.
