LIFEGROUP Questions for the Pekin 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 2: Certain Peace

1. When you need to rest, relax, or get away, what kind of things to you do? Where do you go?

2. Have you ever been lost while driving? Where were you? How did you find your way back?

3. When you feel ‘lost’ in uncertainty, what do you do to find your way?

4. One of the things we do in the midst of uncertainty is pray. What questions do we have about prayer? What are some keys to a meaningful prayer life?

5. In times of uncertainty we also hold to the promises of God through the Bible. What questions do we have about how to read the Bible? Can you think of a time when you were going through a period of uncertainty and God spoke peace to you through the Bible? Would you share that story with the group?

6. In Matthew 11:28-29 Jesus promises us rest for our souls through a relationship with him. Does anyone feel like they need that rest and don’t have it right now? Does anyone feel like they don’t have peace with God right now through Jesus? Let’s pray for each other that we would all find that rest in Jesus.

***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.
