Made for more

Message preached at Casey

In Amanda’s sermon, she shared her personal journey of stepping into her new role as Lead Pastor at CityLife Church. She highlighted the theme of MORE and how God is calling us to embrace the abundant life He offers, doing far more than we could ever imagine. Amanda emphasized that God is positioning His people for greater impact and encouraged us to step into a new season of faith and courage. She reminded us that even in our weaknesses, God’s strength is made perfect, and we are called to live out God’s promises, trusting that He will bring growth and renewal to our lives.

Note for the Leader:

Feel free to use your discretion as you lead. Don’t worry about getting through every question. If a question really resonates with the group, take your time with it. You can skip questions if they feel less relevant. Keep the atmosphere relaxed and encourage honest, open sharing.

Discussion Questions:

1. Reflecting on the Theme of MORE
Scripture Reference: Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
What does this verse mean to you in your own life?

How can we open ourselves up to receive MORE from God?

2. Personal Faith Journey
Scripture Reference: Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
What is an area where you need courage to step out in faith? How can you find strength from God in this season?

3. Community Vision and Impact
Scripture Reference: John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
How can our church community reflect the fullness of life Jesus offers?
 
Is there something God is inviting you to contribute to the mission of the church?

4. The Call to Action “ Stepping into MORE Together
Scripture Reference: John 7:38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.

What is God calling you to do to bring more of His Kingdom to earth? How can you encourage others in their call to step into MORE?

5. Strength in Weakness
Scripture Reference: 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Are you feeling weary or weak in any area of your life?

How can you invite God into your weaknesses and let His strength shine through?

6. God’s Promise for Growth
Scripture Reference: Galatians 6:9 Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Is there an area where you’ve been sowing but haven’t seen the fruit yet? How can you trust God to bring the harvest in His timing?

7. Personal Response to the Prophetic Word
Scripture Reference: Isaiah 40:29-31 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

What’s the next step God is inviting you to take in your life? How can you respond to His call for MORE in your journey? Conclusion:
Reflect on God’s s invitation to live an abundant life, filled with His MORE, more grace, more fruit, and more opportunities for His Kingdom to grow. As we step into His promises, let’s embrace the fullness of what He has for us.
