Everyone knows what it feels like to gain and lose hope in life. Finding hope is a look at how we can ultimately find our hope in a relationship with our creator. It is my goal to spark thought and discussion for those who watch it. Enjoy. This is a small group series I created for North Way Christian Community in Pittsburgh, PA.
Discussion 1
Read Psalms 130 and 131
· When was the last time you were reminded that you were not ultimately in control?
· How did you react?
· Share a moment in your life when you had to wait on the Lord like in Psalm 130.
· What happened? Are you still waiting?
· When is the last time you quieted your soul? Describe the experience.
Discussion 2
Read Romans 5:1-8
· How does this understanding of Christ’s love for us give us hope?
· When has someone done something for you when you did not deserve it? Hoe did you react?
· What is the role of the Holy Spirit in this passage? Where is our hope placed in this passage?
Discussion 3
Read 2 Corinthians 3:7-18
· In what ways are followers of Jesus called to be bold?
· How can you better reflect to Lord’s glory this week?
· How can you continue to be transformed into his likeness?
Prayer
· Confess the areas of your life where you have not reflected the glory of God. Ask for forgiveness.
· Ask God to transform a specific area of your life that needs to be changed.
· Ask God to reveal a person this week with whom you can share the hope of Christ.
