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 1: What’s one unique fact about yourself that you’d like the group to remember you by? For example, when people see Alec, they think, ‘Oh, there’s Alec. He likes to put mustard in his coffee!’
- Icebreaker 2: Imagine you didn’t have to work or raise kids, but you had to serve in some way. What type of service would you choose to do?
REBUILD THE SERMON:
- Rebuild the Sermon: What stood out to you from the sermon?
- Parenting Challenges: What are some of the biggest challenges you face in parenting? How do you typically handle situations where you feel you “just didn’t know”?
- Faith and Parenting: How do you approach the challenge of helping your children develop a strong faith in Jesus? What strategies have you found effective or ineffective?
- Deuteronomy 6:4-9: What does this passage mean to you personally? How do you interpret Moses’ instructions to impress God’s commandments on your children?
- Practical Application: How can you turn everyday activities into object lessons about God and His goodness?
- Relationship with God: How does your personal relationship with God influence your parenting?
- Prayer Life: How do you ensure your prayers are meaningful and reflect a genuine belief in God?
- Healing Relationships: How do you work on healing and strengthening your relationships, especially with your spouse? What practical steps can you take to improve these relationships?
- Breaking Down Lies: What are some common delusions or lies that you or others might believe about family life? How can you address and overcome these?
- Modeling Faith: How can you model a life defined by Jesus to your children and spouse? What specific actions can you take to demonstrate your faith in everyday life?
Application Question:
- Personal Commitment: Reflecting on today’s discussion, what is one change you can make in your daily life to better point your family to Jesus? How will you implement this change starting this week?
- Take up prayer requests and pray together.
