LIFEGROUP Questions

11/29/09

***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.

Simple Christmas Week 1: Open Invitation

1. What is your favorite part about Christmastime and why? What is your least favorite part about Christmastime and why?

2. If there was one thing you have to do at Christmas that you wish you never had to do again, what would it be?

3. How significant of a role does the story of Jesus birth play in your Christmas celebrations? Is it the focus, an afterthought, or non-existent?

4. Read Matthew 22:1-10. Have you ever had a party where you invited a bunch of people and no one showed up? Even if you haven’t, how would you feel if that did happen?

5. We all know people that rebel and want to do their own thing. Have you had a time in your life when you were rebelling? Why were you rebelling? What made you stop?

6. Some of you have received this invitation from Jesus to follow Him and have joined with him. How can we use the Christmas season to invite others to experience Jesus?

7. If you were there Sunday and feel comfortable sharing, how did you respond to the message on Sunday? How can we pray for one another to see Jesus work through that response?

(Leader’s note): Keep praying for those who you have been, that they would come to faith in Jesus Christ.

***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.
