Reformation Sunday • John 8:31–36

1. Abiding — Law: We’re constantly taking in news, opinions, and social media. What does Jesus’ call to “abide in my word” reveal about the voices we trust and allow to shape our lives?

2. Sonship — Gospel: So much of life feels like proving we deserve our place. How does Jesus give us something we cannot earn—a lasting place in God’s family as His children?

3. Freedom — Discipleship: We often define freedom as doing whatever we want. How does being freed from sin by Jesus change the way we use our freedom at home, at work, and online?

1. What challenges leave families feeling vulnerable or spiritually worn down?

2. How do fear, anger, and division lead us to treat one another as the enemy?

1. What foundations are families tempted to build their lives upon today?
