Daniel 3 FURTHER DISCUSSION Have you ever had to take a hard stand against something you viewed as wrong or sinful? How did God work in that situation? What is your impression of or reaction to the Three’s response to the king? (vs.16-18) What might we learn about faith from their posture? Does God’s working and action in this story seem appropriate? What other ways might God have chosen to show H...

1 Kings 18 FURTHER DISCUSSION What are some of the false idols that you might be tempted to put above God? How can we remind ourselves that God is above all of them? Do you ever feel like you might be too far gone for God to want you back? How can we encourage one another that this is not true? What does it mean to you that God wants to be known? How do you see God in this story? How might this st...

1 Samuel 17 FURTHER DISCUSSION Are there persistent things in your life that you are fearful of? How can you remind yourself that God is bigger? Are there any battles you’re trying to win on your own? How do you think God might be being defied in our current times and culture? How might He make Himself known in these sorts of circumstances? How do you see God in this story? How might this story dr...

Judges 6 & 7 FURTHER DISCUSSION What are some things or circumstances that make you feel inadequate to do what God is calling you to do? In what sorts of instances might we be tempted to test God? How do you think that would go? Why did God trim down the Israelite army? Are there any places in your own life where you might be trying to trust in your own strength rather than God’s? How do you see G...

Genesis 37 - 50 FURTHER DISCUSSION What does it mean that God is WITH you? Why might we feel that God is not with us at some points? How do we navigate those times?

Job 36; Psalm 8; Isaiah 40; John 1; Philippians 2 FURTHER DISCUSSION Is it important for us as humans to understand the vastness of God? What would you use to describe or illustrate how big God is? Does it seem degrading or insulting to think of humans as very small? Why or why not? What compels God to have relationship with tiny humans? How should we respond to Him in light of Him wanting relatio...

Psalm 75 FURTHER DISCUSSION How does Psalm 75 encourage us when we feel like God is distant? How does arrogance or pride affect our relationship with God? Does the term “judge” seem more positive or negative to you? Is there anyone we would rather have act as judge other than God? How does the prospect of God’s judgement bring us closer to Him?

1 Corinthians 12 FURTHER DISCUSSION Do you think church membership is important? Why or why not? What are some unfitting approaches to being a church member? How would you describe a healthy church member? What keeps someone from being a healthy church member? How does proper church membership strengthen and build the church?

We are blessed by your presence with us! We do not believe your visit to our church was by chance, so we pray that you would experience God's blessing as we worship, learn, grow, and encourage one another.

FURTHER DISCUSSION Remind yourselves why we share the Lord's Supper. What is its significance? How does it help us remember? What are some Bible passages that emphasize Christ's sacrifice for us? How does sharing Communion help or encourage our daily walk with Jesus?

Philippians 2:5-11 FURTHER DISCUSSION Which do you value more? What Jesus can give you or Jesus Himself? What are some areas of pride that we, as the Church, need to be very aware of? What does unity in the Church look like to you? Humility, by biblical definition, is NOT to think low of oneself (we are made in the image of God), but to think rightfully and truthfully of oneself. How does that imp...
