MOVE | Week 3

Summary: This weekend was an exciting weekend at Lakeland! We were overwhelmed by the generosity of God’s people as we boldly step into this new chapter in Lakeland’s story. This weekend’s message from Pastor Josh taught us about Eleazer in 2 Samuel 23 and 1 Chronicles 11. We discovered that we are experiencing victories today because of the faithfulness of people who have gone before us. We ended the service with filling out MOVE Commitment Cards. In this week’s huddle discussion, we will unpack why big steps of faith are important for each one of us.

Scripture: Joshua 4:1-24

Conversation Starter: Share about a celebration that you were recently a part of.

MOVE | Week 2

Summary: For week 2 of MOVE, we focused on the power generosity. Pastor Josh walked us through the steps of the generosity journey from initial giver to consistent giver to intentional giver, generous giver, and extravagant giver. Because of the extravagant sacrifice of Jesus and the promises of Scripture around our money, we are challenged to live and give generously. MOVE is a great opportunity to invest here and now for the eternal rewards to come.

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:6-15

Conversation Starter: What is one highlight of your last week?

Watch TALK IT OVER | MOVE – Week #2 (Available on YouTube)

Focus Questions

  • Who is the most generous person you know? This could be someone who is financially generous, practically generous, relationally generous, etc. Share more about them.
  • Is giving something that comes naturally for you, or is giving something you have to be more intentional about? What makes giving easy for some and more difficult for others?
  • Read 2 Corinthians 9:6-15. In this passage, the author (Apostle Paul) is compares generosity with sowing and harvesting seed. What do you like most about this word picture? Why is it a powerful metaphor for generosity?
  • Reread verses 7-8. Some readers misinterpret this passage to mean that God “pays us back” when we give. How do respond to that idea? What is the real “gain” of living out generosity?
  • According to verses 12-15, what impact does our generosity have in the lives of others?
  • What example are you setting with your giving habits? Is this the example that you want to set? What next step do you need to take toward setting a better example?

Prayer Challenge:

  • Pray for individual needs/requests
  • Pray for MOVE Initiative

Before you go…

  • Remind everyone to “decide in their hearts what to give” (2 Cor 9:7). We are turning in MOVE Commitment Cards on Sunday.
  • Gather any new names & contact info to submit with your weekly report

MOVE | Week 1

Summary: On our kickoff weekend of MOVE, Pastor Josh cast the vision of what the next season of ministry looks like at Lakeland. Together, we are going all-in on leveling up our Next Gen spaces to disciple kids to follow Jesus and using that same space to bless our community during the week. Additionally, we will continue to take ground in the digital realm to reach others. It’s exciting! This week’s Huddle Discussion Guide will focus in on the importance of investing in the next generation.

Scripture: Psalm 78:1-7; Deuteronomy 4:9

Conversation Starter: What one word would you use to describe yourself as a child? Why?

Watch TALK IT OVER | MOVE – Week #1 (Available above & on Youtube)

Focus Questions

  • As a child or teenager, did you have a “spiritual parent” or role model in your life? If so, share about that person. If not, what difference would that have made in your story?
  • The vision of MOVE is to heavily invest in the next generation and for God to move in their lives. How is this important to you personally in this season? What dreams do you have for your kids, your grandkids, or kids in your community?
  • Read Psalm 78:1-7 and Deuteronomy 4:9. What stands out to you most in these verses?
  • According to Psalms and Deuteronomy, our experience with God’s power and God’s truth are to be passed from generation to generation. How do we obey this command? What have you found to be the most effective in doing this?
  • Imagine what it would look like for the next generation to prioritize Jesus above all else. How would that change the world that we live in?
