Open up:
What is something that you are currently hoping for?
Big idea:
I believe that I can live hopeful, when God is the source of my hope.
Celebrate & Care:
Take a moment to check vitals and celebrate what God has done this past week.
Discuss:
Choose one or two questions for your group to discuss as time allows.
What are some reasons you have to be hopeful today?
Who is someone that you have seen live out this unshakable hope? How has their hope impacted you?
When was a time that you experienced supernatural hope in the middle of a hopeless situation?
What daily choices can you make to remain hopeful in your current situation?
Engage:
1-2 minutes in silence with these questions then share your thoughts.
In Saul's situation, his hopelessness became destructive (1 Sam. 13:11-14), but we know that hopelessness can become constructive when we use it to seek the Lord and trust Him.
Think of an area of hopelessness in your life. Is your hopeless situation constructive or destructive?
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how to trust Him, and to fill you with confident hope.
Pray:
Close in prayer.
