Christmas Party for Malawi Kids | All of December For close to 15 years, North Bay has partnered with Hands of Hope, who do amazing work in Malawi, Africa, which is situated among people living in poverty, powerlessness, and oppression. Hands of Hope provides training, opportunities, and resources for the youth of Malawi to help empower them and raise them out of poverty. Each Christmas we desire the opportunity to give in a specific way. This year, the focus is providing beds and bedding for an area in dire need. The children are sleeping on the floor with no padding and few blankets. The money we raise will be sent to Malawi to purchase the needed items. If you like to donate, you donate directly to Hands of Hope Malawi. Your contribution will provide a pillow, blanket, or bed. Bringing Christmas to kids clear across the world!

What Sin Will Do: ⇒ It will you further than you ever thought you’d . 2 Samuel 11:1 (NLT) 2 Samuel 11:3-4 (NIV) ⇒ It will you longer than you ever dreamed you’d . 2 Samuel 11:5 (NIV) James 1:14-15 (NIV) ⇒ It will you more than you’d ever imagined you would . 2 Samuel 9:13 (NIV) 2 Samuel 11:27 (NIV) Romans 6:23 (NIV) 2 Samuel 12:5 (NIV) 2 Samuel 12:7-8 (NIV) 2 Samuel 12:13 (NIV) Theme: If Looks Could Kill Reflect Together What impacted you the most from last Sunday’s Message as well as from the King of Hearts Growth guides? Share Together What is your favorite junk or comfort food that tempts you when you are trying to eat healthy? Read & Discuss Together 2 Samuel 11:1-17, 26-27 How do you think David’s initial idleness and decision to stay back from the battle set the stage for temptation? In what ways can idleness or complacency lead to vulnerability to compromise our morals in our own lives? Reflect on the importance of accountability in David’s life. How might having a trusted friend or mentor have influenced his choices and how we make decisions about choices we make? Explore the progression of David’s sin from lust to adultery and eventually murder. How can a seemingly small compromise and attempt to cover up lead to more significant transgressions in our lives? Discuss practical steps to recognize and address sin early. Based on David’s sin, what were the consequences? How does sin progressively destroy us? Read Romans 6:23 and discuss the ultimate results of sin? Read & Discuss Together 2 Samuel 12:1-20, 24 What do you think about David’s initial response when confronted by Nathan? How does true repentance differ from mere regret? What was the ultimate consequence of David’s sin? When did he repent and recover? Explore the role of God’s redemptive grace in David’s life. How does this story demonstrate God’s willingness to forgive and restore, even in the face of serious sin? Share personal experiences of God’s grace and forgiveness in your own life from recovery from sin or sins of others.
