Looking back at your notes from this week’s message, was there anything you heard for the first time, stuck with you, challenged or confused you?
But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. (Luke 21:34-35)
How do you feel about the word surrender?
What weighs you down? In what ways have you surrendered to this thing?
What would it look like to surrender it to Jesus instead?
Early in the morning all the people came to [Jesus] in the temple to hear him. (Luke 21:38)
What does it mean to continue the ministry that Jesus has started? How have you been uniquely gifted to do that?
LIVING IN 4D
Pastor Jared said: “Our call remains the same if Jesus comes back tomorrow or in 100 years. We are called to a life of surrender and obedience to Jesus.”
What does a life of surrender and obedience to Jesus look like for you, especially in the context of your relationships?
What is the one important thing you will take away from this weekend’s message or our community group discussion? Is there any challenge, difficulty or praise that you would like to share with the group for prayer?
