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: What are you looking forward to the most this fall?
REBUILD THE SERMON:
- Rebuild the Sermon: What stood out to you from the sermon?
- Opening Illustration Reflection: Have you ever experienced a situation where you were trying to achieve something quickly but realized it required more time and patience? How did you handle it?
- Instant Gratification: In what areas of your life do you find yourself seeking instant gratification? How does this impact your long-term goals?
- Investment in the Next Generation: Why do you think investing in the next generation is important? Can you share an example from your own life where someone invested in you?
- Paul and Timothy’s Relationship: What can we learn from the relationship between Paul and Timothy about mentorship and discipleship?
- Family Influence: How has your family influenced your faith and values? Can you identify specific traits or beliefs that have been passed down to you?
- Overcoming Challenges: Timothy faced challenges due to his father’s lack of faith. Have you faced any challenges in your faith journey? How did you overcome them?
- Role Models: Who are the three key people who have significantly influenced your spiritual growth? How did they impact you?
- Fanning the Flame: Paul encouraged Timothy to “fan into flame the gift of God.” What gifts or talents do you feel called to develop and use for a greater purpose?
Application Question:
- Based on our discussion, what specific steps can you take to invest in the next generation, whether in your family, church, or community? How can you start implementing these steps this week?
