Icebreaker:  

  • What is something you have “conquered” in your life?

Sermon Discussion-1 John 5:1-4

  • What kinds of things in your daily life show that you love God?
  • Talk about the concept of conquering the world: What do you think this looks like in your life? 
    • Why is  loving God and faith the way we conquer the world?
  • How does the idea of the “upside down kingdom” that Pastor Steve spoke about influence how we think about this idea of “conquering the world”

Going Deeper  – 1 John 5:5-12

  • Describe to the group who Jesus is to you.
  • Explain how water and blood- Jesus’ baptism and crucifixion- prove that he is God’s son.
    • How does understanding the Trinity impact this (The podcast spoke a lot to this)
  • In what ways does the importance or impact of being able to “testify” about who Jesus is affect our daily living?
  • Is there something God is wanting to teach you in this message that would impact how you live differently next week?

Prayer  (Considering this and using it as a prayer prompt for group prayer time)

  • Consider praying for each other, for God to reveal to us more about who Jesus is and what it means for us to conquer the world.
