SERMON BASED RESOURCES

Dig into the sermon each week with your life group, spiritual growth partner, or even by yourself! We’ll provide ideas to jump start your group time (Opener Questions:  for building community), discussion questions to go deep (Discussion Questions:  for fostering Christ Centered community), and ways to apply what you learned throughout the week (Practical Applications:  for faithfully following Jesus through your week).

Discussion Questions:

    1. Is there anything you are rumbling with from your time in Scripture last week?

    2. The last Harbor of the year was on Thursday, April 25.  We celebrated what God has done over the year in us and in our groups.  We shared stories about relational impact, missional multiplication, and the power of God’s Word to transform us.  We ended the evening with the question, “What is your invitation?” As you reflect on the past year and the stories shared, what is God inviting you into? 

    3. Talk about your summer plans and rhythms – both as individuals and as a group.  What are your plans for spiritual growth this summer?  

    4. Remember back in January when we engaged with the Align study? If so, take some time to revisit what you recorded earlier this year and consider where you are now. 
    You can do this as a group or individually.  What fruit have you seen?  Praise God for it! 
    What growing edges are you looking at now?  Pray for discernment and wisdom as to how you will enter the next season (summer in Wisconsin)!

     

    5. Read Acts 5-9 for Woodlands in the Word and the sermon passage for May 5 is Acts 11:19-30.
