LifeGroup Questions: Applying the Teaching to Our Life
- Begin Life Group with prayer - invite the Holy Spirit to speak and move among you. Perhaps begin with requests for prayer so that’s not overlooked at the end. It’s important to take the time to fellowship and pray intentionally for one another.
- Ice breaker: What is the highest place you have every physically been to? Tell your story - were you afraid? Would you go again or like to go higher?
- Discuss the high places in our lives. What was the high place for your family of origin? How did that affect you then and now? How has Jesus transformed your high place?
- Paul was all alone and the Lord had already in mind for Priscilla & Aquila to meet him in Corinth and Silas and Timothy were close on their heels. Describe a time in your life when the Lord provided support at just the right time. Stop and collectively praise God for those moments shared by everyone.
- Are any of you frustrated like Paul was with the Jews - with a family member, co-worker or neighbor who you’ve been trying to share Jesus with? Share names if appropriate so that you all can pray for these people specifically at the end and lift up your LG member to be encouraged and strengthened.
- It’s all about His mission and His way of using you in your sphere of influence. How can we keep Jesus in His rightful high place and keep from getting distracted from the mission of going, sharing and making disciples? Who has God brought into your life that can help you with this?
- Close in prayer giving all we discussed to the Lord together! Amen!
