CONVERSATION STARTERS:
Conversation Starters help us dig deeper, connecting Sunday’s sermons with our Monday lives. These prompts have been designed to help Community Groups grow in their relationship with God, with one another, and with their neighbors. Please know that these questions are meant to be a resource to you. You do not have to follow them verbatim or get through them all. We trust you to know your group and to ask the questions based on your group needs.
1. Has there been a time when God did abundantly more than you asked or imagined? Encourage each person to share here, even if it takes some time.
2. In Ephesians 3:16, Paul says his prayer is for the believers to have spiritual strength in their inner being. What is one area of your life where you long for more spiritual strength: encouragement, faith, discipline, etc.?
3. Do you see yourself focusing on physical strength and healing in your daily thoughts and prayers as much as spiritual strength? Does it matter?
4. According to Ephesians 3:20-21, when God does a mighty work in us, what is his desired result?
Follow up - is this type of glory any different than how you see glory portrayed in our culture?
PRAYER PROMPT:
Remember the stories people shared of God doing more than we had ever imagined and give him praise for what he has done in the past, and expectation to see him work for his glory in the future.
