Grow
- G1 What about now, what is at the top of your ‘longing’ list?
- G2 Read Romans 8:22-23 – how does this describe the longing or discontentment in the world? What is it that will slake / fill this longing?
- G3 Prov. 16: – In what was is it “far better to be right and poor than to be wrong and rich” (MSG)? Which would you choose if it was a choice between the two? Do you know anyone who has suffered greatly for doing the right thing?
- G4 Based on the sermon, how would you explain the concept of “leaning into the longing” to your friend?
- G5 If we were made for relationship with Jesus / for His kingdom, do you think we will always have a part of us that is discontent with what we see in the world? Do you think, given Romans 8:22-23, that a Christian can ever be totally content / fulfilled this side of eternity?
- G6 If you haven’t yet made Jesus your Lord, take time to make that right – lean into that longing that only He can meet. Have an honest conversation with Him.
- G6 Prov. 17:5, 24:24 – how do these two verses bring meaning to what took place on the cross when Jesus atoned for the sins of the guilty?
Show
- S1 If you are Jesus follower, take time to memorize either Micah 6:8 (Act. Love. Walk.) or Isaiah 11:1 and discern how God wants you to live this out in your little corner of God’s universe.
