Key Quote
“Family doesn’t always mean ‘biological’… it gave God great pleasure to adopt us into His family.” - Pastor Bil Cornelius
Start talking. Find a conversation starter for your group.

- What sports figure or celebrity inspired you as a kid?
- What’s been your favorite At The Movies film so far? (from this year or any past series)
- If you could meet, and get trained by, any celebrity who would it be?
Start thinking. Ask a thoughtful question.
- Pastor Bil said, “who you spend time with will determine who you become.” Why do you think that happens?
- Why does giving to others play a role in our own healing and wholeness?
- How does a spiritual family invest in each other?
- What can it mean for someone to learn they’re part of God’s spiritual family?
Start sharing. Choose questions that create openness.
- How has your spiritual family walked with you through times of trouble?
- Name the people in your spiritual family & what they mean to you.
- When was a time you found healing and wholeness through giving to others?
- What is your new name, or calling/identity, as a member of God’s family?
Start praying. Be bold, and pray with power.
Dear Jesus, thank you for giving us a spiritual family who believes in us, walks with us, and invests in our growth. Please help us bless them as much as they bless us. In your name we pray, Amen.
