LIFEGROUP Questions

2/14/10

***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.

Til Death Week 2: Pursuit

1. What’s something that you pursued more than anything else, and finally got it? Why did you want it so much? What did it mean to you when you got it? After awhile, did it have the same excitement as it did before?

2. Has anyone ever pursued a relationship with you before (dating, parenting, brother/sister, grandparent, aunt/uncle, etc.)? What did they do to get your attention? Were their efforts effective?

3. 2 Samuel 14:14 says that “God does not take away life; instead He devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from Him.” When you look at your life, how have you seen God ‘devising ways’ to get your attention and bring you closer to Him?

4. Ephesians 5:25-29 gives us a good picture of what it means to pursue God: sacrifice, serving, and supplying their needs. When it comes to God, what sacrifices might you need to make personally to show your commitment to pursue Him?

5. How can we serve God to show our pursuit of Him? How does our relationship with God now as single folks impact our futures with our spouses?

6. Each person in here commit to one of the ways we can pursue God this week. Let’s check in with each other next week to see how we’ve been doing and how God has impacted us through our pursuit of Him. Let’s pray for each other now that we would be faithful to this challenge.

***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.
