Feb. 4 - Anger or Compassion? (Jon. 4)
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.
Icebreaker idea: What's one act of kindness you've experienced or seen recently?
A way to pray: Spend some time together as a group praying based on the Pursuing Unity question below.
For discussion:
- Treasuring God: How have I experienced God as "merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness"?
- Being Transformed: Why do we tend to want God's kindness for ourselves but not for others? When have I personally struggled with this?
- Loving Others: What will I do this week to pass on to others the kindness that God has shown me?
- Pursuing Unity: Who in my life is far from God? Who can join with me in praying for them to experience His kindness and forgiveness?
