Group Discussion & Life Challenge
Use these notes as discussion prompts for your group, or in your personal time with God.
Connect:
Get to know each other. Connect, warm up to each other, fellowship.
Care:
Carry each other’s burdens. Share life’s challenges and practice Soul Care. Pray together.
Challenge:
Dive into God’s Word. Use these discussion questions. Learn from each other’s insight.
1) Am I trusting in God’s promised savior alone, or am I sentimentally disposed to thinking that my traditions, denominational affiliation, or a particular form of worship are what saves me?
2) Name some of the religious things we have a tendency to put ahead of our relationship?
3) How do we prevent ourselves from defending the traditions and missing out on the Savior of which we speak?
4) There must be true faith and true repentance if we are going to find ourselves with Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and Stephen in the future. What is keeping you from the true faith, and are there any things you need to repent of in order to get back into the right relationship with Jesus?
Clarify:
Does anyone need clarity on something? Are there any big God questions you are wrestling with?
Celebrate:
Celebrate life’s successes and God’s provision. Worship God’s presence. Time to brag about God.

Through the Bible in one Year
Join us in reading through the entire Bible in one year. Each day of this plan guides you through passages from both the Old and New Testaments, allowing you to see connections between the history of our faith, and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. Readings average four chapters in length, so it is posible to do. When you use the YouVersion Bible App, you can even have the app read the Bible text to you – very useful when you are in the car or otherwise occupied with your hand.
All you need to do is click the link to the Bible Plan, which should lead you straight to the Bible app. Your two options are now (1) to read the plan on your own, one day at the time. Or (2) you can make it more fun and rewarding, by sharing the plan with one or more friends, and then even “Talk about it”.
