3.29.20 Huddle
Leader Note: Our current cultural moment is not a time of “business as usual.” This is true of our groups as well. This is a time when connection and care need to be elevated in our groups, even if it is at the expense of our normal weekly group engagement of scripture. As you meet virtually with your groups, spend the majority of your group simply checking in with your group members—see how they are handling everything, how their spirit is holding up, if they need anything, and how you can pray for them.
In addition, here are some general questions for this week.
- What is something funny that happened to you this week?
- When did you feel most down this week? What was it in relation to?
- When did you feel closest to God this week?
- Do you have any tips on how to find time for solitude, prayer, loving others, etc. What is working for you?
- How can we pray for you?
If you have time in your group, share this week’s scriptures and ask what stands out or rings true to their current experience.
2 Corinthians 4:7-9
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
