    SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: These questions are optional and are simply a resource to help guide your small group discussion. You may use all, some, or none of them, please feel free to follow the spirit's leading as you spend time together.


    Saturday Morning Devotional Questions:

    • Where are you currently placing your hope? Do you tend to rely on your own strength or the power of the Holy Spirit?
    • Are there areas of your life where the Lord may be inviting you to place your hope more fully in Him?
    • Where are you struggling to hold onto hope right now?
    • Who in your life helps point you back to the hope we have through the Holy Spirit?

    Small Group Questions

    • What part of the teachings challenged or encouraged you the most — belonging to Jesus, participating in community, being formed through rhythms, or stepping into mission? Why do you think that stood out to you?
    • Which rhythm do you feel most invited to lean into right now — staying close to Jesus, investing in community, trusting slow growth, or taking small steps of obedience — and what might that actually look like in your life this week?
    • Jesus invited His disciples to follow Him while they were still becoming. Where do you sense God inviting you to trust Him more deeply right now — in your identity, your relationships, your future, or your influence on others?
    • Who is the last person you shared my testimony with? Do people in all the different circles of your life know I’m a Christian?How can you be more intentional and bold in your faith with those around you?
