Small Group Questions - Weekend of January 17
|
|
Group
Opener:
What was a highlight for you this past week?
Group Questions:
- Review
Proverbs 7:6-27. What stood out from this Sunday’s message? Were you
challenged to think differently about something? Surprised by anything?
- The man
from Proverbs 7 made several poor choices, leading to a very dangerous
path. We often do the same. How can we be more aware of the path we’re on?
- Read Proverbs
7:1-3. The Bible is one way we can
be more intentional about the
path we’re on. What does it look like for us to “treasure” His Word? To
“bind [His commandments] on our fingers” and “write them on the tablet of
our heart”?
- Proverbs
7:2 says, “Keep my commandments and live.”
- Read
Deuteronomy 32:47 and Psalm 119:93. How does His Word give us life?
- Read
John 1:1, 14. Who is the Word? Why is this significant?
- Read
John 10:10. Jesus came to give us life, while the “thief” comes to steal
and destroy. What role might the Bible play in this?
- Considering
the verses above, we can say the following:
Word = Life
= Jesus
It’s ALL about Jesus!
Jesus “is the way (the path), and
the truth (the Word), and the life” (John 14:6).
- God
guides us along the right path through His Word – both
(1) the Bible, the written Word, and (2) Jesus Christ, the Word
Incarnate. Pray that God would give you a deeper hunger and passion for
His Word, that His Word would be “a lamp to my feet and a light to my
path” (Psalm 119:105).
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. Then spend time asking God to continue working in your life to
make you more like Christ, and listening to see what He might be asking you to
change.
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!
