Conversation Starters – Shawnee Mission Campus
TAKEAWAY: In your own words, what was Tim hoping to communicate in the sermon this week?
OPENING UP: In what areas of your life have you tried to be in control? How has that affected you?
SCRIPTURE: Read Daniel 1:1-3. Despite the worst happening, Daniel makes it clear in these verses that God is still ultimately in control. If that is still true today, how might this truth change how you view and live in the world?
REFLECTING: If God is in control, then we are by definition not in control. How do you feel about that? Do you think you truly believe that, as Tim suggested, not being in control is a good thing for us?
ASSESSING HABITS: How might regular prayer help us to live life without control?
PRAYER: As you pray together, seek to relinquish control over everything going on in your life to God.
