DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Designed On Purpose For A Purpose
Pastor Stephen Stinton | September 6, 2026
Discussion Questions:
What thoughts or emotions arise when you hear, “I am designed on purpose and for a purpose”? Why?
According to Ephesians 2:8–10, how are salvation by grace and the good works God prepared for us connected?
“Every Member a Minister. Every Arena a Mission Field.” Where has God placed you, and what brokenness might He be inviting you to help restore there?
Where have you experienced “motion without fulfillment”? How might serving through your passions, spiritual gifts, and personal style change that experience?
What practical step can you take during the DESIGN series to better understand your God-given design and calling?
Anchored Through Change
Pastor Chad Reis | August 30, 2026
Discussion Questions:
Pastor Chad opened with a trip back through the seasons of our church. What was your own "golden age" season, the one you'd go back to if you could? What made it so good? You can share about your personal life or church life.
The message made the point that Jesus is unchanging not because He's frozen but because He's finished the work. The priests stood because the work was never done. Jesus sat down. What difference does a seated Savior make in something you're still working hard to earn or prove?
Drift is quiet. Nobody feels themselves drifting; you only notice after you've already moved. Look back over the last year of your life. Is there an area where you've drifted without ever deciding to move?
Hebrews 6 says the anchor doesn't drop to the seafloor, it runs upward, into the throne room where Jesus already is. Be honest with each other: what are you actually anchored to right now? A season, a role, a relationship, a version of yourself you're afraid to lose? What would it cost you if that thing changed?
Humble, hungry, healthy, smart, supernatural. If those five are the rope, which strand is strongest in your life right now and which one is fraying? Name one thing you'll do this week to strengthen the thin one, and name the person in this room who gets to ask you about it.
Vision Sunday | Family On Mission
Pastor Creighton Arita | August 23, 2026
Discussion Questions:
C4's vision starts with a family that helps people experience Jesus before it ever asks them to be formed. Who was the person or the room that let you belong before you had it together, and what did they actually do?
We said the message goes out from this room. If C4 is a sending church and not just a gathering one, what has God already put in your hands that was never meant to stop with you?
Our vision ends with making more families just like this one. Name one person, not a category, who you could invite into this family in the next 30 days. What is the first small step?
When God Does Something New
Pastor Stephen Stinton | August 9, 2026
Discussion Questions:
When was the last time you found yourself in an uncomfortable situation? How did you naturally respond to it?
When was the last time you sensed the Holy Spirit doing something new in your life, or in your family’s life? How did you process it and/or respond?
Pause and reflect on the Spirit’s leading in your own life right now. Could the Spirit be doing something new?
If you sense the Spirit might be doing something new, who can you share, process and pray about it with?
If you don’t sense the Spirit to be doing anything new right now, do other people come to mind? Are there friends or family members who need someone to process and pray with?
What is a practical lean into and step into what God might be doing in your life right now? Close in prayer, asking for more leading, guidance, and power from the Holy Spirit.
Witnessing by Sharing our Stories
Series: SENT: Everyday Witness In Everyday Life
Pastor Chad Reis | August 2, 2026
Discussion Questions:
Pastor Chad said the reason we stay quiet comes down to one lie: "I don't know enough." What's the version of that lie that shows up in your head? Is it the hard questions, the fear of saying it wrong, or the feeling that your life doesn't back it up yet?
Take Then, How, Now, and actually share it. Take roughly 1-2 minutes each, around the circle. Then: what was your life like before. How: what did Jesus do. Now: what's different. Rough and honest, not polished. If you're still in process, say that. It counts.
The disciples looked at this man and asked, "Whose fault is this?" Jesus moved the conversation to what God was about to do. Is there a chapter of your own story where you're still parked on the first question? What would it look like to start asking the second one about it?
Pray for one another.
Sent Into My Family
Series: SENT: Everyday Witness In Everyday Life
Pastor Stef Anderson | July 26, 2026
Discussion Questions:
Who is someone in your family or close circle that God may be calling you to love, pray for, or reach out to?
(How can you begin being “sent” to them this week?)
Have you ever mistaken someone’s resistance to Jesus as your failure? How does knowing that God is the One who changes hearts change the way you approach those conversations?
Ephesians 6 reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood. How does viewing spiritual opposition differently, help us respond with more grace, patience, and love toward difficult family members?
Think about the people God has placed in your family story. How might God use even your pain, brokenness, or past experiences as part of His redemptive plan?
Who is someone you have almost given up on, and what would it look like to believe that God is not finished writing their story?
Sent Into My Workplace
Series: SENT: Everyday Witness In Everyday Life
Pastor Chad Reis | July 19, 2026
Discussion Questions:
The message opened with two questions: a word someone spoke that built you up and that you still carry, and a word that stung and is honestly still in there. Which one came to mind faster for you—and why do you think that is?
We looked at two sons: Esau, who showed up and the blessing simply wasn't there, and Jesus, who received the Father's blessing before He had done anything to earn it. Be honest—which story are you living out of more right now: Esau's (earning, proving, performing) or Jesus' (already chosen, already loved)?
Pastor Chad said most father wounds are word wounds. What's a word you've spent years trying to outrun or prove wrong—or a word you've been quietly waiting most of your life to hear?
We were given the ABC Test (Affirming, Biblical, Christlike) and a charge: go home and say the thing. Who is the one person the Holy Spirit is highlighting for you—and what is the specific sentence you've been holding back that you're willing to speak this week?
Sent Into My Sphere Of Influence
Series: SENT: Everyday Witness In Everyday Life
Pastor Brett Nakasone | July 12, 2026
Discussion Questions:
Where’s your “agora” — the place you keep running into the same people without ever making an appointment? (The gym, the sideline, the breakroom, the group chat, Zippy’s...)
Read Acts 17:16–17. Paul was “greatly distressed” by the idols in Athens — but instead of ranting or retreating, he showed up daily in the marketplace. What does that response teach us about the heart of a witness?
Read Colossians 3:17. “Whatever you do, whether in word or deed…” What part of your life do you tend to treat as “not spiritual” — work, hobbies, errands — and what would it look like to do that part in Jesus’ name?
What most tempts you to keep your faith private — fear of awkwardness, feeling disqualified by your past, not knowing enough Bible, an inconsistent season? Be honest about which one is loudest for you right now.
“I spent less time preaching to them. I spent more time being present with them.” What’s the difference between preaching at someone and being present with them — and which do the people in your life experience from you?
Pull out your Three Set Free card (or write down three names right now). Which agora do you see each of them in? Pick ONE move for this week — offer to pray, invite them to something, tell them why you go to church, or simply show up with eyes open. Share your one move with the group, and pray for each other’s three names before you leave.
Jesus Invites Us Into Life
Pastor Chad Reis | July 5, 2026
Discussion Questions:
Chad opened by asking about your go-to food spot — the place you can't stop recommending. What's something (a restaurant, a show, a product) you've "evangelized" for lately? What made it so easy to tell people about it?
In John 10:10, Jesus contrasts the thief who comes "to steal and kill and destroy" with His own promise of life "to the full." Chad pointed out the Greek word here means overflow, not just "enough." Where do you see the thief's strategy of subtraction showing up in ordinary life — not through disaster, but through busyness and distraction?
Chad named a hard tension: "full schedules hiding empty lives." Be honest with your group — does your current season feel more like surviving or actually living? What's one area where you've quietly settled for a full calendar but an empty tank?
The message asked a direct question: do we actually believe Jesus is worth sharing? When you're honest, what makes it harder for you to point someone to Jesus than to recommend a good meal? Is it fear, uncertainty, past baggage with "evangelism," or something you've never really named out loud?
Chad's challenge was to "name your three" — three real people in your life who don't yet know the life found in Jesus. Who are yours? Share their names to your group if you're willing. Then, based on the three "lanes" mentioned (relational, prayer and power, and mercy), what's one small next step you could actually take toward one of them this week?
Sent By Jesus Into My Everyday Life
Pastor Tiffa Garza | June 28, 2026
Discussion Questions:
Have you ever witnessed to someone about your faith in Jesus?
Does witnessing come easy for you? Why or why not?
Share or write down 3 times God showed up in your life and start practicing your witness!
The Power of a Father's Blessing
Pastor Chad Reis | June 21, 2026
Discussion Questions:
The message opened with two questions: a word someone spoke that built you up and that you still carry, and a word that stung and is honestly still in there. Which one came to mind faster for you—and why do you think that is?
We looked at two sons: Esau, who showed up and the blessing simply wasn't there, and Jesus, who received the Father's blessing before He had done anything to earn it. Be honest—which story are you living out of more right now: Esau's (earning, proving, performing) or Jesus' (already chosen, already loved)?
Pastor Chad said most father wounds are word wounds. What's a word you've spent years trying to outrun or prove wrong—or a word you've been quietly waiting most of your life to hear?
We were given the ABC Test (Affirming, Biblical, Christlike) and a charge: go home and say the thing. Who is the one person the Holy Spirit is highlighting for you—and what is the specific sentence you've been holding back that you're willing to speak this week?
Empowered To Pour Ourselves Out In Service
Pastor Dawn Ching | June 14, 2026
Discussion Questions:
What are your spiritual gifts? If you are not sure what they are, we encourage you to take the spiritual gifts assessment on the Ediphy app.
Are you using your gifts to serve others? If yes, share. If no, what is holding you back?
Share how you have blessed others through serving.
Share how God has blessed you as you served others.
What have you learned about yourself by serving others?
“Filled To Be Poured Out”
Pastor Shea Takazono | June 7, 2026
Discussion Questions:
Where are you currently getting your strength from? What are the substitutes — obvious or subtle — that you reach for before you reach for God?
What does Spirit-filled life look like in your current season? How is it different from a previous season, and does that difference feel like growth or failure?
What fear is keeping you from taking one step further than you're comfortable with? What would it look like to show up in your assignment this week with the love louder than the fear?
Who Is My Neighbor?
Pastor Chad Reis | May 31, 2026
Discussion Questions:
Who is someone in your life — past or present — that you'd describe as genuinely hard to love? Without naming them, what is it about them that makes loving them feel costly?
Paul says the "works of the flesh" — hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage — are the natural output of self-directed living. Where do you most recognize that pattern showing up in your own relationships right now?
The sermon drew a contrast between works (human striving) and fruit (divine growing). Be honest: in your most difficult relationship, are you mostly trying to manufacture love through willpower, or are you actually staying connected to the One who grows it? What does that difference look like practically for you?
Which of the three applications feels hardest for you personally — naming the person and praying specifically for them, following the Spirit's nudges even when it's inconvenient, or asking to be filled daily? What is it about that one that creates the most resistance in you?
Poured Out: Pentecost Sunday
Pastor Stephen Stinton | May 24, 2026
Discussion Questions:
Can you think of an example of something you have “marked” with your own name to make sure people know it belongs to you? (Like writing your name inside your book or on the tag of a family jacket.) Has your ownership of that item ever been an important issue?
Have you ever thought of yourself as being “marked” as belonging to God because of the Holy Spirit living within you? How does that change your perspective?
When you think about your ultimate future — what Ephesians 1:14 calls “our inheritance,” what do you think of? What are you looking forward to?
Read Romans 8:10-11. If the sentence in your translation sounds confusing, try the New Living Translation. How does the promise of verse 11 make you feel? Does it give you hope? Is it hard to believe?
Do you feel like the Holy Spirit is active in your life? Why or why not? If not, what might your next step be?

You may have nothing happen at all (which is totally ok and doesn’t mean anything is wrong). The important thing is to just try and make space for God to speak. Share what you got (if there was anything) with the group.

Ask God, "What is one thing you like about me?" (Don't forget to write it down)
Pray for one another.
