Week 5: Death and Grief

Theme: Dying to Self for New Life – Embrace the spiritual reality of letting go of the old to make room for resurrection and renewal.

Focus Scripture: John 12:24 – “Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.”

Connect: Have you ever had to let go of an old dream or way of thinking to embrace something new and better? Change can be hard, but it’s often the start of something beautiful.

Engage: In Genesis 17, God calls Abram into a new identity as Abraham, promising to make him the father of many nations. But this new covenant required Abraham to let go of his old identity and trust God’s plan, even when it seemed impossible. Like a seed falling to the ground, Abraham’s surrender opened the way for God’s promises to flourish.

Apply: Is there an area of your life where God might be asking you to let go of something old to embrace something new? Pray for the courage to trust His promises and take the next step of faith.
