Rest for the Weary
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 from this week’s teaching?
What activities ‘steal’ rest from you? Can you lay these activities down for 24 hours?
What brings you delight, and how will you incorporate these into your Sabbath?
Circle a date on your calendar and pray for courage to enter into God’s rest.
What stands in the way of resting with God in a regular Sabbath?
