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:
- What’s the luckiest thing that’s ever happened to you?
- Any feedback on last week’s application question: What actionable thing can you and Jesus do to start confronting your greatest failure and turn it into your Faith Story, to be able to say, “I am the way that I am because when this happened, I, with the help of Jesus, responded in this way.”
REBUILD THE SERMON:
- What stood out to you from the sermon?
- Read Matthew 5:1-12.
- Do any of these seem to apply to you more than the others?
- Kent said these describe what?
Leader Hint: What life is like for someone who lives in the kingdom of God. - Why does this kind of perspective give us freedom?
- Read Romans 8:35-39
- How does the view that nothing can separate us from the love of God explain the beatitudes?
- Do we hold loosely or tightly to things like our time, treasure, or talents? What does that even mean?
- Can we have a more meaningful life by letting go of these things?
Application Question:
- What is one tangible way you can practice viewing your time, treasure, or talents as opportunities for God to work?
- Take up prayer requests and pray as a group.
