Huddle / Common Chaos: Part 3
Huddle time is an opportunity for you to connect to each other and grow in faith. The below questions are just a resource for you to use or start from. Don’t feel like you have to use them all or rush through good discussion.
Do you remember how we used to get directions? Now we use phones. What’s something else that your phone helps you do that was more difficult before you had it?
What’s a skill you wish you had or want to learn when it comes to relationships?
Who is someone in your life that you would say is a good listener?
It’s important to process scripture through the correct lens when we are reading, studying, and discussing the truths it’s conveying. We are looking at verses from several different books in the Bible and remembering this tip will help us navigate scripture a little easier. Any time we see language that specifically addresses behaviors, responses, issues, etc… it is, more times than not, a specific instance where the author is addressing an issue that is prevalent in the church to which the book is intended to be read. Be sure your group/team all understand this reality before you end the discussion.
Read: James 1:19-20
What does the order of how these things are listed tell you about what’s most important?
Bret’s points – To be a good listener:
- Be interested.
- Be Present
- Be empathetic
- Be committed
Which of these come naturally to you, and which ones are difficult for you?
Can you share a story when someone was interested, present , empathetic, or committed with you? Did it deepen the relationship or harm the relationship?
Read Philippians 2:3-4
Paul is giving coaching to the Church in Philippi on how to resolve conflicts.
