Presence
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?
What stood out to you in this week’s teaching?
Why do we downplay the fear of the Lord?
How might Psalm 24 & 2 Sam. 6 help make sense of healthy fear?
Do you relate more to the contemplative or charismatic tradition?
What excites you about learning to seek God’s face in the midst of a community hopefully holding these traditions together?
What would it look like for a community to seek God with all their heart?
What keeps you from turning aside to God in your daily rhythms?
