It’s A Trap
Group Discussion Guide
Each Sunday we come together we offer an open invitation into the way of Jesus. An invitation to enter into sacred rhythms - to draw near to God through singing, giving, learning, and praying.
As a community who desires renewal in Des Moines as it is in Heaven, we recognize that we cannot offer what we ourselves do not have. We cannot lead where we ourselves have not been led; in turn, these questions aim at reflection. Reflecting on God’s word and making space for his leadership.
After watching or listening consider the following discussion questions as a large group or in groups of three to four:
What stood out to you about this week's teaching?
If you’re single, how has marriage been exalted in culture vs. the church?
Do these “exaltations” map on to Jesus’ life and ministry?
If you’re married, how do Jesus’ words challenge you, comfort you, compel you?
Is marriage the “ideal?” If yes, why? If no, why?
Discuss what it means to flourish as a follower of Jesus.
Can you do this if you’re single?
How can we be a community that is committed to Jesus, his teaching, and winsome (get practical)?
Lastly, what will you lose if you follow Jesus? What will you gain if you follow Jesus?
