Announcement: When is the last time our group had a social night together outside of our weekly group night. Shall we schedule a night to connect, have dinner, play games, etc…Ideas? Icebreaker:
What might be something you love to do that is just not as good unless you are doing it with friends?
What is the significance of Singing as a necessary part of worship?
Check out these verses to help discussion: Eph 5:18-20, Zeph 3:17, Rev 5:8-9
How can we practice worship today in a way that emulates what the church in Acts was doing?
Pastor David said Worship is always a response to God. How do you see that playing out in your life? In the church?
When YOU worship, what about God, or what he has done, are you responding to?
Going Deeper
Pastor David said that we can break our Fellowship of worship with God when we choose to make it about ourselves.
In what ways do you find yourself most tempted to make worship about yourself?
In your daily life by yourself?
When we gather as a church together?
Read Matthew 5:22-24: How should this impact how we come into our Worship times as a church and in our own time with God?
Why do you think God would want us to make our relationships right before we worship Him?
Are there relationships in your lives that God has challenged you to get right in order to restore your fellowship of worship with him?
We keep asking these questions: What is God asking you to do in your life right now that you might not be saying yes to that might be hurting your fellowship of worship with Him?
Prayer Time: (Focused Prayer time as a group!) Pray for each other based on the responses shared in the Going Deeper section.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
