Ice Breaker (fun + low-pressure)
Scripture & Discussion
Message Title: We are Mercy City - Pastor Mike Ploen
Key Scriptures: Joel 2:38-29
Brief Recap: God doesn’t just dream of a church on fire, he dreams of a city reborn. The church on fire is the vehicle that He uses to reach His city and pour His Spirit out. His heart is for unity so that people can experience the fullness of the life he has for them - unity through confession, repentance, humility, forgiveness and peace. Unity happens when we lay down our will in favor of His will - it will take us getting over our opinions and preferences so we can operate in unity with His heart.
Notes from Pastor Mike:
In the essentials, we must have unity.
In the non-essentials, we must have liberty.
In all things, we must have charity.
Hunger moves us toward God.
Humility moves God toward us.
Curiosity moves us into deeper awe of God.
Discussion
You don’t need to hit every question—follow the room.

Core Value Encouragement
- Evangelism! Saved people, serve people!
- It is our mission to connect people to the heart of God and the house of God. In this house, evangelism is not exclusive to extroverts or people with a specific ministry title, but is a basic, personal responsibility for every believer. It’s for the people in THE world and OUR world- our homes, our work places, our schools. We want to share what Jesus has done in us with the people in our places of influence! When we connect people to God’s heart and God’s house, lives change.
Ice Breaker (fun + low-pressure)
- What’s something small that instantly makes your day better?
- Are you more likely to have a plan, go with the flow, or pretend you have a plan?
- What’s something you’ve changed your mind about in the last few years?

Discussion
You don’t need to hit every question—follow the room.
- What stood out to you from this week’s message? (this question is to help your group navigate what the Lord highlighted to them).
- Is there anything that God has been waiting for me to say yes to?
- Who do I have in my life that is telling me when I am being dumb? (Accountability!)
- Are there any areas of my life where I have operating in disunity? Are there any areas in my life where I have seen the peace that comes from unity?
Prayer Time
- Receive prayer requests if time allows. If not, you can close in prayer.
