LIFE GROUP INTERSECT NOTES

(That’s the goal of the word of God: to cut across and overlap into our everyday lives. These questions will help us dig a little deeper and make sure that what we are learning is intersecting with our every day lives. They also serve as the framework for discussion and study in our life groups.)

QUICK REVIEW

Looking back at your notes from this week’s message, what caught your attention, challenged or confused you?

MY STORY

  1. What are some of the typical places where my agenda and Jesus’ agenda doesn’t line up?
  1. Sometimes God’s answer is revelation, not explanation. How do you feel about that statement? How does it challenge you to still have questions, but to still follow a Savior who doesn’t always explain everything to us?
  1. Do you have any examples of the Lord needing to drop bombs on your life because you weren’t picking up on His hints?

DIGGING DEEPER

Read about when God hit the high beams in Isaiah’s life in Isaiah chapter 6. How is his encounter similar to and different from the disciples?

What other “high beam” moments can you think of in scripture?

TAKING IT HOME

  1. Worship is the place where our questions and doubts get eclipsed by beholding the reality of the incomparable Jesus Christ. What shape can that take in my life in the week ahead?
  1. What are some of the things and places we tend to shine the high beams on and focus on? How can we redirect our vision to keep our eyes on Jesus?
