Small Group Questions - Weekend of November 15
 
 

 

 

 


 

 

Group Opener: 

 

Describe the most generous person you know – How do they impact you? How do they stand out from others?

 

Group Questions:

 

  1. Talk about this past week. Were you able to persevere through any tough times? Do you view hope in God any differently?

 

  1. Read 1 John 4:7-21. How did God show His love for us? Why is this significant?

 

  1. How do we show that we know Him, that we follow Him?

 

  1. Reread verses 12-18. How is His love perfected in us? What does it mean, that “perfect love casts out fear”?

 

  1. Back up a little and read 1 John 3:16-24. How are we to express love to others? How is your group doing this? (Or, how can you do this over the next several weeks?)

 

  1. Again, how do we show that we know Him, that we follow Him?

 

  1. Take a few minutes to review the major points from this series:

 

    1. How did Matt redefine sin?
    2. Both the older brother and the younger brother were lost. What did each one’s “lostness” look like?
    3. How did the father treat each brother? How does God treat us?
    4. What are we called to do as a result of this parable?

 

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, continuing seeking His guidance in understanding the Parable of the Prodigal Son. What is He trying to teach you?

 

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
