Divine Questions – What Right Do You Have? (week 4)
Welcome Back!!!
Welcome to a New LifeGroup Session!
Before we jump into our study, let’s take a moment to remember that there are THREE things we want to see happen every time our LifeGroups gather:
– Movement towards Each Other
– Movement towards God
– Movement towards our Community
Our questions follow this same format. All of the questions are designed towards movement. We hope you enjoy your time together in your LifeGroup.
**Remember, our goal is to deepen our relationship with Jesus and each other. Use the questions that are help and skip the rest.
CURRENT SERIES: Divine Questions
The questions God asks are questions where He already knows the answers.
These divine questions reveal the heart and nature of not only God, but of us as well.
Last Week: Spend time this week reading Isaiah 6:8 & Mark 16:15. Ask God for an opportunity to share the Gospel.
Two Weeks Ago: How are you doing in your walk with God? Have you lost sight of who He is? How can you adjust your compass back to Him?
