Grow Group Questions - December 15, 2024

December 12, 2024 4:25 PM

Announcement: This week marks the conclusion of our structured Grow Group discussion questions for the year. We will resume with new questions starting January 17, 2025. 

Icebreaker:  What is your favorite Christmas memory or tradition from childhood? How has it shaped how you celebrate today?

Sermon Discussion: Read Isaiah 9:6

  • The sermon mentions that Jesus being called Everlasting Father can be confusing in the context of the Trinity. 

-How does understanding Jesus as a reflection of the Father’s love help clarify this?
-How does this challenge or affirm your view of God's character?
-How does the description of Jesus as "Everlasting Father" deepen your understanding of his relationship with us? 

  • How does the image that you are an adopted Child of God through Jesus help you understand who God is and how he sees you?
  • Going Deeper :

    • What does it mean to you personally that Jesus is a fatherly King who loves, protects, and leads his people?
    •  How does this understanding of God’s love change the way you approach your relationship with Him?
    • How does Jesus’ fatherly care for His people inspire trust and hope in your own life?

    Next Steps:

    • What opportunities do you have this season to reflect the fatherly love of Jesus to those around you, especially those who might feel distant from God?
