Group Leader Guide
Open with a short prayer and ask God to bless your discussion time.
ICE BREAKER
Highs and Lows: Ask each person at the table if they wish to share a highlight or lowlight of their week.
Question: Who do you honor in your life? How do you show that honor?
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Think of that definition of insanity: doing the same thing the same way yet expecting different results. We all have learned patterns: first with our parents and siblings, then friends, then school, then jobs, and also with our own families. Sometimes the patterns work, sometimes they work for a while, and sometimes they just don’t and never did.
1.What are your successful patterns?
2.What are your patterns that need to be changed up and crossed over?
3.How do you tell what isn’t working?
Jesus knows us and serves us anyway. He sees us, as we really are, and honors us with His sacrifice. He was there at the beginning and is seated in Heaven and still saves a place for us because He loves us. He loves you.
Honor is a big word, a hard word even, because we have forgotten what it IS, properly speaking. To honor someone we must KNOW who they are. To honor God, we must KNOW Him - we must recognize His word, we must trust His vision for our lives.
4.How are you doing in your daily study of God’s Word?
5.What is your schedule for learning and studying?
Ok, let’s wrap it up and do a quick review!
6.How have you increased in your humility over this series? (Yes, it’s okay to talk about it, we’re all friends!)
7.Looking forward, where can you anticipate even more growth?
MOVING FORWARD
It has been so hard to figure out exactly how to talk about humility. As Pastor Cory said in week one, all of us need cover each other in grace as we try to grow in being a little less.
8.Where are you being led to confidently practice humility?
CHANGING YOUR MIND
As Pastor Joseph prayed, let us learn to HONOR GOD and LEARN HUMILITY and LIVE HUMBLY. Allow us to be vulnerable with open hearts to hear God’s vision for our lives. Let us be examples of joy, love, and humility. Be confident that God will provide us with chances to grow our spiritual muscles!
HOW CAN I PRAY FOR YOU THIS WEEK?
Pray for the work that God is doing in our hearts to make us humble and keep us there. Pray for the Word to be opened up to us and for the love of God to be with us this week.
