STUDY 

Everyone is studying something.

  • Are you academically minded, or not? How’d you feel about school when you were a student?

  • What’s your favorite source for advice and inspiration? (examples could be books, youtube, etc.)

  • How are “seek, study, serve,” more than just self-help advice?

Read: I Peter 3:15

  • How ready do you feel to explain your hope in Jesus Christ to those who are not Christians?

Read: Colossians 3:1-2

  • How much do you think about the things of heaven? How does that compare to the time you spend thinking about the things of this earth.

  • What strategy can you take to set your mind on heavenly things?

Read: Colossians 3:4-5

  • What does it look like to have “died to this life?” Just what exactly does Paul mean when he says, “your real life is hidden with Christ in God?”

Read: Colossians 3:16-17

  • What do you do to “teach and counsel each other with the wisdom” Jesus gives?

  • How are you doing at studying God in discipling relationships and in small groups? What might you need to add?

Prayer: Pray that God will give your group members an inquisitive mind as you all study him this fall.
