LIFEGROUP Questions for the Morton Campus

10/18/09

***Remember that we always start LIFEGROUPS reminding the group that the purpose of LIFEGROUPS is to ‘belong and become.’ To find a group of people we can connect to and build friendships, and become more like Jesus each day.

***Also reinforce the ‘Vegas Rule’ – what happens in LIFEGROUP, stays in LIFEGROUP.

Uncertainty Week 3: Certain Hope

1. When you were a kid at Christmas, what’s a gift that you hoped you’d get and your hope came true? What was a gift that you hoped you’d get but never did?

2. As adults, what are the things that we hope for in our lives today?

3. How does hope look different between people who have a faith in Jesus and those who don’t?

4. Faith is being ‘sure of what we hope for.’ When was a time when all you had was faith in Jesus when you were facing uncertainty, and He came through for you?

5. David says in Psalm 25, “For you are my God, and my hope is in you all day long.” Is there anyone that would have trouble claiming that statement for their own life today?

6. What types of things encourage us when we are facing uncertainty?

7. What uncertain situations are you facing currently that we can pray about together?

***Always close your group with a time of prayer. As a leader, you can lead this or you can all share in the requests praying for one another. You need to know where your group is at to determine what would be most comfortable in that setting. i.e. don’t ask people to pray in the group if you’re not sure they’re ready to.
