WEEK ONE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
SURRENDERING YOUR LIFE COMPLETELY
Read: Romans 12:1-3 (NIV)
Reflect: What does God want from me?
Respond: The answer to this weeks reflection question is... EVERYTHING. God wants us to trust him with everything.
So as you get ready for your small group connection time this week, take a mental inventory of your life to see if there is anything that you have not surrendered to God. Then use your group time to share these areas and ask your group to pray for you and help you live a fully surrendered life!
Please also discuss with your group your thoughts on this week's video message from Erik. Below are some additional questions related to this week's reading for your group to reflect on when you meet.
- What does it mean to you today to realize God has made you for a specific purpose? How will this knowledge change the way you live tomorrow?
- How have past lies impated your present? Discuss ways to replace those old soundtracks with God's truth and agree to check up on each other's progress.
- Can you name a few cravings that might not be God's best for you? How will you let God turn them into a hunger for the things of God?
- How could letting go of past pain and forgiving those who've hurt you help you become more of who God made you to be? What might the new you look like?
- How could releasing your roles into God's hands help you become more you?
- What do you think would happen if you gave your deepest desires to God? Why are you afraid to take this step? What's the worst that could happen if you did?
- What have you been holding on to that's keeping you from fully experiencing the new life God has for you? Confessing it to a friend is a good first step in letting it go.
