Can I Find a Hero?
When your life has settled into a numbing routine and someone whisks in
and changes all the darkness into hope and possibility, you have been
saved by a hero. Most heroes never put on a cape or tights, they don't
have super duper x-ray vision, they may not have any super powers at
all. They are just ordinary people who allow the extraordinary power of
God to step out and make a difference.
After listening to the message:
Never Give Up!
On the journey of life, most of us would prefer if we could take a ride
down Easy Street rather than battling a rough, pothole-infested cow path!
The fact is, heroes are rarely found on the easy, broad street. In fact,
sometimes, maybe even often, the destinations in life that we are called
to visit are not serviced by those comfortable roads. True heroes will
often find themselves moving down the road less travelled, persevering
through many obstacles on the way to their moments of heroism.
After listening to the message:
Take Action
We all have opportunities in which we "could have..." "would have..." or
"should have...," but a hero is just an everyday person who sees an
opportunity and takes action! It's as simple as that.
After listening to the message:
My Mess, His Message
The last thing Satan wants is for you to share how God has moved in
your life. Your story of what God has done in middle of your mess is one
of the most valuable and powerful things you have. It can change lives.
Why are we so often afraid to share it? Listen and find out more.
After listening to the message:
1. What amazing things has God done in your life?
2. How has the devil tried to keep you silent?
3. How will you turn your mess into His message?
Actions and Truth
Do you ever long for a more tangible experience of God? Do you long to
really know God? For many of us, while we long for something real and
authentic, we find ourselves engaged in an aggressive but empty
lifecycle of unfulfilled religion. But when our heart and God's begin to
beat in harmony, then we move from religion and into the presence--and
the glory--of the great God we long to find!
After listening to the message:
Closer than a Brother
Most of us know people. We may have even found our very own place
where others know our name. In an age overflowing with facebooks,
tweets, texts, emails, cell phones, and social networks, we are growing in
loneliness. While we are ever more "in touch," we are at the same time
ever more isolated. What are we missing? How can we find those true
friends who fill a spot in our life in a way that is deep, fulfilling, and life
altering? Where is the friend who is closer than a brother?

After listening to the message:
- What would cause you to give up hope of being someone’s hero?
- How has your time with Jesus changed you?
- Which of the traits of a hero are most true of your life? Least true?
- Who are some of your heroes? Have you told them?

After listening to the message:
- To what degree is your life shaped by trying to stay on Easy St?
- Where is your confidence placed? How do you know?
- Would you rather be transformed or comfortably conformed to the
world around you? How do you know? - What are some ways you are allowing the soil of your heart to be
prepared for effectiveness?

After listening to the message:
- What has God been drawing your attention to or been putting on
your heart lately? - What is your most common reason for not taking action? What are
you going to do about that?

After listening to the message:
- Describe some ways you have attempted to manipulate God by
your actions. What was motivating your behavior? - What are some of the ways you are able to uncover the condition
of your heart toward God? - What are some ways you have missed an opportunity to
demonstrate compassion in the last month? What are some ways
you acted with compassion in the past month? - Does your life bring out a demonstration of the goodness and glory
of God?

After listening to the message:
- Can you identify a time in your life when you had a truly intimate
friend? How did that relationship impact your life? - Which of the five traits of a transformational relationship are you
initiating into the life of someone else? - Which of the five traits of a transformational relationship are
present in your friendships? Which are missing? - What will you do this week to take a step toward being a better
friend to someone else?

We have all seen the superhero movies,
read the accounts of heroes who land
planes on rivers, turn the tide of battles,
or rescue kittens from a tree--but it
always seems that these heroes are
unreachable people in distant places.
But in reality, heroes are ordinary
people who engage in extraordinary
lives. In this series, we uncover the
heroes all around us and explore the
steps that lead us to the hero within.
