On August 1st, our Spokane community suffered a nearly incomprehensible disaster as fires tore through our city — including the neighborhood we love and call home, where our church building is also located.

 

To date, 6 families have suffered a complete loss of their home, property, and possessions, and nearly half of our roughly 400-member congregation has been displaced, living in temporary housing due to necessary evacuations — with friends, relatives, in hotels, or other accommodations.

 

Many people and churches have asked how they can specifically help, and we have set up a Fire Relief Fund for our church.

 

These resources will be used to care for the immediate, mid-term, and long-term needs of ITC members, and as the Lord gives opportunity, for the good and upbuilding of others in our area.

 

Although there is much tragedy, we grieve with great hope because of the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord.

 

If you or your church desire to help and serve our church and those we're connected to, please direct your giving to the Indian Trail Church – Fire Relief Fund.

Abide in Christ

September 1, 2019 Speaker: Dan Absalonson Series: The Gospel According to John

Passage: John 15:1–15

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION

- What did Jesus mean when he said, "I am the true vine" in John 15:1? In verse 2, how does the idea of God pruning away unfruitful branches make you fee? How does the gospel of Jesus Christ make this a wonderful thing rather than a scary one?

- What does Jesus say is the key to bearing godly fruit in our lives? What does "abiding" mean? In what ways can we abide in Jesus? What can we do if we try to bear fruit on our own? (verse 5) Read John 15:8. What does this verse imply about our lives? What does love have to do with abiding? Can you think of other verses that talk about the necessity of God's love in our lives?

- What is the result of God being at work in your life through your abiding in Christ? (see verse 11) Do you think you have this kind of joy in your life? Why or why not?

- What does it mean to you that Jesus calls his followers not slaves, but friends? How is it possible that we could be friends with the Son of God Almighty?
