0 Mentor Me - What Mentors Do - LifeGroup Questions

By
Published on at ,
This Sunday we'll be kicking off a new series called "Mentor Me".  Talking through the message with a LifeGroup, or even your family is a great way to help you turn what God says on Sunday into action steps throughout the week.  These questions are for our LifeGroups, but they also are a great tool for you to use with your family over lunch or dinner on Sunday...or at halftime of the big game.

1. Who is someone that believed in you and encouraged you while you were growing up?  How did their influence help shape what you've become today?

2. Read Acts 13:36.  This passage talks about David accomplishing the purpose God had for his life.  Mentors are simply coaches who help us to accomplish God's purpose for our lives.  Who are some people that have not just influenced your life, but helped you to accomplish God's purpose for your life?

3. Describe a time that someone took a chance on you?  How did you grow from that opportunity?

4. Read 1 Chronicles 28:9-12, 19-20.  David is nearing the end of his life, and is investing in mentoring his son Solomon.  From this passage, what are some of the things that mentors do to help us accomplish God's purpose for our lives?

5. Who is someone you are currently mentoring or influencing?  What are some of the positive things you are adding to their life?  What are some of the things holding you back from being the type of example God would desire you to be?

6.  What individual or group of people is God calling you to influence in a positive way?  What next step do you need to take to carry out that calling?

As always, close your time with prayer for the people in your group.  Focus especially on praying for the people you are influencing, and the people God is calling you to influence.

0 Plan B - Hope Through the Cross - LifeGroup Questions

Published on at ,
Several of our LifeGroups will be launching this week!  If you're not in a group, I hope you'll take the step to get into a group this week.  You can register online at www.bwcc.tv by going to the "Get Involved" link.
 
Here are this week's LifeGroup discussion questions:
1. Have you ever thought about the emotions that were represented at the cross?  What emotions do you think you would have felt that day?

2. How do you typically respond to situations that feel out of control or that make you feel powerless? For instance, are you likely to work harder, to try to get things organized, to try to get away from the situation, or to lean more on God?

3. If you could have any superpower, what would it be? What do you think this says about your needs, your hopes, and your fears?

4. Read John 16:33.  Where are some places that people look for hope and peace other than in Christ?  How does it make you feel to hear Jesus say, "in this world you will have trouble."?  Why do you think that a lot of Christians ignore this truth or pretend like it doesn't exist?

5. Read Hebrews 6:19.  In what ways in the cross of Jesus a trustworthy anchor for our souls?  How can the cross lead us to see through the pain of our circumstances into the presence of God?

6.  The cross reminds us that God can take something extremely painful and make something beautiful.  What situation are you facing right now where you need to allow God to make something beautiful out of your pain?
