Small Group Questions - Weekend of November 22
 
 

 

 

 


 

 

Group Opener: 

 

What is your favorite Christmas/holiday movie? Why?

 

Group Questions:

 

  1. Review the message from Sunday. What were some of Denny’s main points? What stood out to you?

 

  1. Read Isaiah 58. How are the Israelites acting in the beginning of this chapter? Why doesn’t that please God?

 

  1. What are our ways of “fasting” and “praying” that are just as unpleasing to Him?

 

  1. Reread verses 6-7. What does God call the Israelites (and us) to do? What does “true worship” or “true fasting” look like to Him?

 

  1. What does that look like for us here in Kosciusko County? Why is this worship so pleasing to God?

 

  1. Reread verses 8-10. How does that kind of worship and fasting affect the people around us?

 

  1. Why do you think it is so difficult for us to reach out in that way?

 

  1. Reread verses 9-12. How will God respond to this kind of worship and fasting? How does He promise to come alongside of us?

 

Prayer Time:

 

What are some specific ways we can be praying for each other?  Take a few minutes to share your prayer requests with each other.

 

As you spend some time in prayer, consider how you as a small group can reach out this holiday season and “give it all away.” You can refer to the blog for current serving and giving opportunities in our community. The link is on our website at wccconnect.com.

 

Notes for your prayer time:

 

There is nothing wrong with praying for each other’s requests and you can continue to do so.  It is easy however to pray for all kinds of things that aren’t related to applying God’s truth to our lives.

 

My desire is to make sure we have some of our prayers focused around the life-change God desires to take place in each of us.  –Scott Nieveen

 

Thanks for the role you play in providing a place for people to experience community while pursuing God!
