Weekly Questions to Reflect on the Sermon.
Each week, Pastor Ryan Johnson will prepare a few questions to help us slow down, reflect on Scripture, and consider how God wants His Word to take root in our lives.

These questions are available on this website under Bible Lessons or at the following link: https://peaceinpotter.org/weekly_sermon_questions

He encourages you to take a few minutes to work through the questions on your own, and then consider sharing them with your spouse, a friend, your Bible study, or someone you regularly meet with.

Pastor Ryan's hope and prayer is that these conversations would help us move from simply hearing the Word to living the Word together.
