MEAL MINISTRY
COMPASSION MEALS
To serve your church family, would you consider providing a meal? After surgery, a new baby or even when a spouse is deployed with the military, it’s often a huge blessing to not have to worry about “what’s for dinner?” If you would like to be added to the meal train list, please
contact Katie Altorfer at kames14@gmail.com.

SERMON NOTES
RETURN TO HOPE
The Coming of the King
Zechariah 9-10
Pastor Josh Beakley
REFLECTION
When it comes to trusting in kings, it’s worth waiting for the right one.
Three appropriate ways to honor the coming king:
HONOR WHO HE IS AGAINST
AWAIT HIS JUSTICE (9:1-8)
HONOR HOW HE CHOOSES TO APPEAR
CELEBRATE HIS APPEARANCE (9:9-17)
HONOR WHAT HE PLANS TO ACCOMPLISH
ANTICIPATE HIS DELIVERANCE (10:1-12)
reflection
- Do you often think of Jesus as king? Why or why not?
- How has God surprised you with the unexpected ways he has worked in your life?
DISCUSsION QUESTIONS
- When are you most tempted to doubt God’s justice?
- What about Jesus makes him a king unlike any other?
- How should God’s love for his flock shape how you think about other sheep and shepherds amidst God’s people?
