KEEPING ON
ANNOUNCEMENTS
IMPACT GROUPS: Last week this week. Groups return week of 9th October
SUNDAY SERVICE: 25th September at Mt Carmel College, Varroville.
COMMUNITY INTENTIONS: Please pray for the intentions of all our Communities
WARM UP QUESTIONS:
1. Sometimes we think we want something, but when we get it we find that it doesn’t make our lives any better. Describe a time when you got exactly what you wanted and then realized it didn’t give you what you’d hoped it would.
SCRIPTURE STUDY: Mark 2:1-12
Study the verse for thirty minutes and write down everything you can.
• What do I see?
• What does it mean? (spiritual question)
• What do I do need to do about it? (application)
Share some of your reflections with your group.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. Have there been times in your life where you had to choose if you were going to persevere or quit? What did you choose?
2. Each one of us would like God to heal (e.g. physical, mental or spiritual issues) or change (e.g. careers, relationships, or finances) something about our lives. What would you like for God to fix, take out of, or change about your life? What is it about this restriction that makes life difficult, limiting, or challenging for you?
3. Where are four areas that you can:
| PERSIST | INNOVATE | |
| 1. | ||
| 2. | ||
| 3. | ||
| 4. |
4. Looking back at your notes from this week’s Message, was there anything that particularly caught your attention, challenged or confused you?
