Review this week's message.

Key Thought: Emotion should lead to motion.

Start talking. Find a conversation starter for your group.
· How have you seen athletes or other performers get fired up before a game or event? · What is the benefit of getting hyped up before taking on a big challenge?

Start thinking. Ask a thoughtful question.
· What kinds of actions or behaviors must we not allow our emotions to drive? · How can one use anger or frustration to take God-honoring action?

Start sharing. Choose questions that create openness.
· What area of your life have you allowed your unattended fire (emotions) to cause damage or destruction? · What kind of fire is God stirring inside of you?

Start praying. Be bold, and pray with power.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for showing us that you gave us emotions with the purpose of firing us up to put into motion your will. We pray that we channel our anger into passion for your desire to reach a lost world. Let us not lash out in frustration, but be motivated knowing that eternity is at stake for all of us. We may be saved, but there is a large playing field we must claim in your name and for your glory. Be with us to point out the divine appointments you set before us so we do not miss an opportunity to evangelize. Through your Son’s precious name we pray. Amen.

Start doing. Commit to a step and live it out this week.
· Emotion. Remember that eternity is at stake for all the people around us at home, our neighborhoods, and work. Get fired up! · Motion. Fill God’s house every week by inviting and bringing someone to church. Work as a team among your LifeGroup. Serve within a ministry. Encourage each other, share your successes.
