4.26.20 Huddle

Onelifechurch   -   April 26, 2020

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.

 

GENERAL CONNECTION QUESTIONS.

  1. What is something funny that happened to you this week?
  2. When did you feel most down this week? What was it in relation to?
  3. When did you feel closest to God this week?
  4. Do you have any tips on how to find time for solitude, prayer, loving others, etc. What is working for you?
  5. How can we pray for you?
QUESTIONS/PRACTICE FROM THIS WEEK
Read Hebrews 12:1-2
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”
  1. What stands out to you from this passage? What connected with your heart?
  2. When you hear the phrase, “throw off everything that hinders” you, what comes to mind? What are things that risk hindering you from keeping your eyes fixed on Jesus?
  3. What do you think it means to “fix your eyes on Jesus?”
  4. Before we can fix our eyes on Jesus we have to know who he is. Next week, we are going to begin a new series, based on the book of Luke, called “True North.” True North will explore who Jesus is, what he focuses on, what rhythms he lives by, etc. Throughout this series, we are challenging everyone to read through the book of Luke, explore outside resources, and have discussions around the text. As a group, think of a plan on how to accomplish this goal together.
