Colossians 1:15-20

First listen to the sermon (posts Sun. afternoon). Then use the ideas below to help you and your group apply what the Lord is teaching you.

What was one “highlight” from over the holidays? What what was one “lowlight?”

• What was one thing from this week’s sermon that impacted/challenged me?

• Treasuring God: Why does the steadfast love of the Lord matter to me personally?

• Being Transformed: Which set of feelings do I relate to currently? In light of this, how do I need the Lord’s help?

• Loving Others: What set of feelings do I see most evident in those around me? What can I do to engage that reality?

• Pursuing Unity: How is the steadfast love of the Lord influencing my interaction with others?

God, Help… (create a time of open prayer and encourage everyone to engage through short “popcorn” prayers starting out with “God, help!” Maybe it’s, “God, help, I’m feeling…” Or “God help, so and so” Whatever words you choose to follow, “God, help.” Let them be a cry from your heart!
