Elemental Season 1 - End of Week 2
End of Week 2
INTRODUCTION
The following is a guide to help facilitate discussion. Feel free to add or subtract or change questions to fit the conversation, and pray for the Spirit to lead in all things.
OPEN
How would you describe your relationship with God right now? What are some verbs that describe your current level of faith? How does this season compare to other seasons of your life? Why?
HEAD
We covered several important themes in our daily readings this week. For your Connect Group we invite you to consider several portions of scripture that highlight the themes of authority, action, mystery, faith, and trust. Read these passages and share any initial wisdom, insights, or questions in response to the readings.
2 Timothy 3:16; Psalm 19:7-11; James 1:22; Matthew 7:24; Jeremiah 10:16; Psalm 8:3; Hebrews 11:1; Proverbs 3:5-6; Psalm 40:4
Have you ever struggled with the understanding that “all scripture is God-breathed”?
What surprises you about the benefits of God's law in Psalm 19? Do you experience the beauty of those benefits often?
What does it look like for us to be “doers” of the Word? Are there certain things you find easy to do and others you struggle with?
Why was it important for us to embrace the mystery of God’s magnificence?
HEART
In Matthew 7:24-29 we see the importance of a firm foundation. Be honest–what foundation do you depend on most? Is it God, or something else??
As you consider the “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews 11, what does it mean for you that not everyone of those people lived a “perfect” life?
How has your life changed as a result of your faith in God? Has your faith come with a cost? How has your faith affected those around you?
HANDS
Trust in God is elemental to our faith experience. How does Proverbs 3:5-6 inspire you to live differently?
Psalm 40:4 tells us we are blessed when we trust. How can you trust more in God this week? How can this group help you achieve that?
LIVING WORDS for YOUR WEEK
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and he will direct your paths. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn your back on evil. Then you will gain renewed health and vitality.”
Proverbs 3:5-8 NLT
