Below are some questions to help you and your household reflect on the sermon:
The sermon emphasized that we were created with a beautiful song, out of love and intention. How does believing you were "sung into existence" change the way you see yourself or your worth compared to believing you are the result of chance or accident?
Read Genesis 1 - 2:3. Genesis 1 starts with God bringing order out of chaos (tohu va-vohu). What are some areas of chaos or darkness in our family's life, or the wider world, where we need God's "song" (His voice, grace, or order) to bring light and rest?
God kept declaring His creation was "good" (and humans "very good"). When is it easiest for you to believe God's declaration that you are "Goooooood", and what makes it hardest to believe that about yourself or others?
If our lives are meant to be a part of God's perfect creation "song," what does it look like when we choose to create dissonance (by choosing our own way, like Adam and Eve)? What's one practical way we can intentionally choose harmony (forgiveness, kindness, order) this week?

Below are some questions to help you reflect on the sermon:
- The sermon used the "Devil Went Down to Georgia" analogy, contrasting the Devil's chaotic music with Johnny's beauty. Where do you see "chaos" (selfishness, division) and "beauty" (grace, life) at work in the world or in the church today?
- Read 1 Corinthians 15:34-49. Paul called the Corinthians to "Wake up from your drunken stupor" and stop sinning. What is one area where we have been acting "asleep" or blinded by individualism (like the Corinthians), and what is one practical way we can intentionally choose to build each other up this week instead?
- Paul reminds us that in Christ, "Death is swallowed up in victory." What does this victory mean for our family when we face something that feels permanent, difficult, or like a "loss" right now? How does the promise of resurrection change how we view these earthly problems?
- Christ defeats ugliness with beauty. What is one concrete action we can take this week to bring the "beauty" of Christ's forgiveness and life into a chaotic situation or to a person in need?
