LIFEGROUP Questions

11/22/09

***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.

Greater Things Week 3: How to See Jesus Do Greater Things

1. What is one of your biggest accomplishments ever? What made it so significant?

2. When you get to the end of your life and look back on it, what will have had to happen in order for you to feel like your life was a success or fulfilled?

3. It is promised that God can do more than we can ask or imagine. When was a time when you saw this promise fulfilled?

4. Read Matthew 14:13-20. Do you feel like you identify more with the boy (trusting Jesus with everything) or the disciples (having trouble trusting)? Why?

5. Jesus could have fed those people with anything that He had. He could have even created something on the spot to feed them. Why do you think He chooses to partner with humans in those situations rather than simply doing it by himself?

6. What work is God doing in your home, in your workplace, in your church, in the world right now that He’s calling you to be a part of?

7. Part of that work that God is doing is using us to influence our friends who don’t know Jesus for Him. Let’s pray for those people again tonight. Let’s also promise to invite them to BridgeWay during the “Simple Christmas” series (if they live in town), and pray that they would be receptive to that invitation.

***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.
