Key Thought: Don't give up. Step back up, so that "We ready" for God to show up in a miraculous way.
Start talking. Find a conversation starter for your group.
· What is your all-time favorite Super Bowl commercial, or any one for that matter?
· Is there a recent commercial or ad campaign you find inspiring? Why?
Start thinking. Ask a thoughtful question.
· What can we do today to encourage the men and women of tomorrow?
· How does participating in LifeGroup bring us closer to God?
Start sharing. Choose questions that create openness.
· Share a time you realized you had a bigger impact than you originally thought?
· Share with each other an area of your life where you’ve been knocked down, but will now get up knowing God is going to show up.
· How is your life better because of this LifeGroup?
Start praying. Be bold, and pray with power.
Dear Jesus, thank You for reminding us daily how much You truly love us. We ask that You give us the strength to not go down, fight for what is right and see ourselves as You see us. Help us be the teachers, coaches, and mentors to the next generation of men and women as things are caught, not taught. Help us to be the best version of ourselves so that we can give you the glory. We ask all this in Your precious and holy name, amen.
Start doing. Commit to a step and live it out this week.
· We are better together. Share the name of the person whom you will invite and bring to LifeGroup.
· "We ready!" Write down what it will take for you to be ready for where you want to be in life.
· Take a moment and go around the room, sharing a celebration of someone else’s victory – another group member, a family member, co-worker, neighbor or anyone else in your life.
