Life-Giving prayer
How was your worship this week? Are you experiencing God? Why or why not?
Life-Giving truth
How does the idea of last week’s truth, “the mission has a church,” make you feel? What does it mean? Why is it such an important concept for us to understand?
This week’s truth: God opposes the proud
Read Acts 12, the whole story.
What do you think is at the root of Herod’s problem? How do you see his pride getting in the way of experiencing the truth?
What is the result of his pride?
Read James 4:13-15
What is this passage trying to say?
How is controlling and planning out your life a potential problem with our relationship with God?
How does desiring control in your relationships and circumstances put a wall between you and the peace of God?
What is the difference between a person who is humbly surrendered and a person who is struggling for control? Which would you prefer to be? Which are you practically being?
Why does striving for control leave you feeling empty?
