MESSAGE: All In Mindset                           Date: 3/23/2025

SERIES: The Fundamentals 

COMMUNICATOR: Pastor Mikey Wall

CHECKING IN: What’s one moment or experience from your week that really stood out to you, and why do you think it made such an impact?

Share Wins: How have you experienced God’s love this week? Have you seen Him answer a prayer, remind you of His presence, or use you to bless someone? In what ways do you feel Jesus is advancing His mission in your life or around you?

THINK, DISCUSS, LIVE: These questions are ideal for personal devotion or group discussions, guiding you to grow spiritually, engage deeply in biblical community, and live out your faith in the world around you.

1. So far, what would you say has been one key takeaway or insight from the fundamental series messages? How has it impacted you, and in what ways have you tried to apply or live out what you’ve learned?
2. Can you think of a time when you were completely committed to something? What was it, and what made it so compelling that you were willing to give it your all? How did it shape how you lived your life? 
3. What comes to mind when you hear the word obedience? Authority? Control? Performance? Commands? Rules? Or something else? Do you think obedience is more about following rules and restrictions, or does it help create freedom? Why do you feel that way?
4. Read Luke 9:23. How do you interpret Jesus’ definition of obedience or what it means to be an “All In” follower of Him? What do you think this kind of commitment looks like in everyday life? What are some examples of obedient living in Christ? 
5. Read and reflect on John 14:15 and 1 John 5:2-3. How does Jesus define those who love Him in these verses? In what ways do these passages challenge your own approach to loving and following Jesus? What might they invite you to reconsider or change in your relationship with Him?
6. What do you think are the key differences between following rules out of fear versus following them out of love? How might each motivation, (fear or love), impact your thoughts, actions, or relationships? 
7. In Mark 12:30-31, Jesus tells us what it means to love and truly obey God. Let’s talk about ways we can best love God, others, and ourselves. How do you show this kind of love and obedience in your everyday life?
8. Take a moment to think about the death and resurrection of Jesus. After reading John 3:16-17 and Romans 6:4, how do baptism and communion help us understand or feel differently about what Jesus did for us? 
9. Take communion: You can use a cracker and juice as the elements. Read 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 or Matthew 26:26-28 for guidance. Remember, you don’t need to be a pastor to lead this—just follow Jesus’ command to take it regularly as a way to remember what He did for us and continues to do.

1. TAKING NEW GROUND! This week, take new ground by fully committing to one area of your spiritual life and going “All In.” It could be joining the Bible reading plan, setting aside five minutes each day to pray for your Jesus and lost friends, starting to tithe, offering your time in service, or even praying a blessing over someone who may be your enemy. As you commit to God in this way, watch how He moves in and through you.
2. How is your faith journey progressing within the Transformational Model? Where do you currently see yourself in the Canvas Circle, Jesus Friends Circle, and Lost Friends Circle? In what ways are you growing to be more like Jesus and moving closer to the center of the diagram?

2025 TRANSFORMATIONAL CHALLENGE: We’ve created a Bible reading plan to help us go through the entire New Testament in a year. Read or listen to just one chapter a day, five days a week. Simply go to the Canvas Church app. and click on ‘Bible Reading Plan.’ If you prefer to listen, that option is available too! Join us on this life-changing journey! 

INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP PRAYER OPTIONS: “Pray as you can, and somewhere along the way, you will make the most important discovery of your life—the love the Father has for you. That discovery is God’s end of the deal. Your part is just to show up honestly. Show up, and keep showing up. That’s the one nonnegotiable when it comes to prayer.” Tyler Staton

1. Praise Sentences: Take a moment to offer short sentence prayers of thanks to God for who He is and what He has done this week. Allow multiple people to pray, even more than once. Then, lift up the needs shared within your group. Finish by thanking Him for hearing your prayers.  
2. Invite Jesus into the challenges you or a loved one are facing right now, trusting in His presence and guidance. As you pray aloud, encourage one another with your words.
3. Pray for the person on your right, it can be out loud or in silence, if in silence nudge the person next to you letting them know you are done. 
4. Prayer Clusters: Groups of two or three (by gender) and share your week together. Pray together and for each other. Send them a text, or leave a message letting them know you have prayed for them this week. 

PRACTICE ON YOUR OWN: What if you made it a daily habit to ask God what He wants you to know? It could be in every situation or just the ones that arise. Next, ask Him what He would like you to do?  It could be a specific answer or a way to apply what He reveals about what He wants you to know. Listen for his answers. Try it and see what happens! 

Ask someone in your group to keep an ongoing list of prayer requests and the answers to those prayers. This will help everyone in the group stay up-to-date on each situation, celebrate when prayers are answered, and encourage us to keep praying when the answers haven’t come yet.
