Renewal (Formation Part 3)
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 in this week’s teaching?
Where do you see the lure of the world at work in your life and in our city?
Which of the three temptations - lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, pride of life - do you find yourself in conflict with most often?
What rhythms from the life of Jesus can you - and we - embrace to combat those temptations?
How does the image of God as a vocation help (or complicate) your understanding of what it means to be human?
