Grow Group Questions – October 30, 2022

Glenna Lenardson   -  

Announcement:

Baptisms are on Nov 20th. Is there anyone in your group that has never been baptized since following Christ and needs to take that step of obedience?

Icebreaker: (Pick one or two)

  • What did your parents teach you about the Bible, either purposely or inadvertently? 
  • What about your grandparents? 

Sermon & Scripture Discussion – 2 Timothy 3:14b-17

  • As you reflect on Sunday’s message, what principle or insight stands out as being particularly helpful, insightful, or difficult to grasp?
  • Is there one book of the Bible that you wish you could be an expert in or understand better? 
    • Why that one? 
    • What have you done to help you study that book better?
  • Paul tells us the Scriptures are useful for “teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” 
    • Have you seen God use one of these in your own life recently?
    • How have you seen God use at least one of these four to bring change in your life?
    • How do you come to God’s word to help you experience these in your life? (Personal tools, methods, resources)

Going Deeper – 2 Timothy 3:14b-17

Pastor Steve shared some of the things that keep us from going to God’s word (Boring, doesn’t make sense, I don’t see value in it). If you are honest, which one do you have to battle through when coming to God’s word?

  • What behavior or reality of your life is most likely to keep you from reading the Bible daily?
    •  How can you challenge or address that this week?
  • What can this group do to help you engage in regular Scripture reading? 

Prayer Time: 

Spend time praying about what might have been shared in the going deeper discussion.
