In God We Trust – Week 3
***The last week of a series is when Group Leaders are challenged with trying to draw out what your Group members have taken in. Lean into fostering discussion where there has been life change.
Share your two biggest takeaways from the series of “In God We Trust”.
***For Leaders – Answers will vary, Listen for the things that they have never heard before that was addressed in the series. It can range from a fresh identity that we are in God’s government to not being anxious because God is in charge. Here are some follow up questions as people share can be:
- Why was that point so impactful for you?
- Was there anything you heard that changed your perspective and the way you’ve lived since you heard it?
- In what areas of your life did you receive a new perspective that is going to be the most challenging for you and why? (Example: I know better God is in control, but it won’t be easy not to be anxious.)
Is disgust an emotion that you struggling with when discussing politics?
***For Leaders – Another follow up question on this subject:
- Does disgust give you the feeling that you are taking a stand against “what’s happening in the world” and how does that play out?
Read Rom 12:17-18 & Rom 13:5-7
Pastor Josh challenged us with “Honor whomever is in office.” What kind of emotions does that elicit from you?
***For Leaders – Lean into Pastor Josh’s statement, “Honor comes from who I am…not from who they are.” Because I am honorable, I can extend honor to other people.
Read Phil 3:20 & Dan 2:21 & 1 Sam 1:8
How should this Scripture affect our perspective of the political landscape going forward?
