Playing, Praying, and Growing together
Last weeks service
This Weeks ?’s
Leader Hints are designed to help guide a leader to some information that we want to “tease” out of the group. They are not there for you to directly read to the participants. People are significantly more likely to remember things they said or came up with, so your goal is to help direct them to that answer.
FINAL NOTE: Our goal is to get to the [APPLICATION QUESTION] to help work with people through how to apply what God is doing in their life.
INTRO:
- Icebreaker: If you could instantly learn any skill, what would it be and why?
REBUILD THE SERMON:
- Leader Hint: Encourage transparency. You’ll get out of this conversation as much as you let yourself put in.
- Firecracker Analogy: How do you relate to the analogy of being a “black cat fuse” or a “green fuse” when it comes to anger?
- Personal Reflection: Can you recall a time when you reacted with sudden anger? What triggered it?
- Start with the Bible: read James 1:19-21.
- Spiritual Formation: How do you understand the concept of spiritual formation? What are some influences that have shaped your spiritual life?
- Illustration of Change: How have you seen changes in your behavior or attitudes because of your spiritual growth?
- Recognizing Rage: What are some signs that indicate someone might have issues with rage, according to the sermon?
- Scriptural Guidance: How does James 1:19-21 guide us in managing our anger?
- Listening First: What are some practical ways to be “quick to listen” in your daily interactions?
- Slow to Speak: How can practicing the discipline of not having the last word impact your relationships?
- Changing Inputs: What are some “moral filth” or negative inputs in your life that you need to get rid of to foster spiritual growth?
Application Question:
- Based on the sermon and our discussion, what specific steps can you take this week to become a “slow burn” person and break the cycle of rage in your life?
- Take up prayer requests and pray together.
