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.What season of life would you say you are currently in? Blessing, Trials, Coasting/cruising?

2. What have you done this past week to abide in Christ? Share examples with each other to also help inspire new ways to connect with God.

3. Read Exodus 20:8-11 and Hebrews 4:9-11 together, Sabbath/rest was given as a gift by God, yet it is something we have to work to enter into, one way to do that is creating a time log of your day and noticing where you can eliminate distractions to allow for sabbath rest?

4. Practice a sabbath this week. Maybe you can’t give a full 24 hours, start small. Can you give 30 minutes? Two hours?

5. Along with the rhythm of rest that we see in Scripture, we see in Ecclesiastes that we should seize moments of joy, moments of work, moments of hardship. This is easy when its fun! And hard when the seasons are difficult. How can you prepare today for future seasons, what is something you can add into your life, or maybe something to take away, so you are ready?

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.

Discussion Prompts

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”.
