Getting to Know YOU
1. Is there a bigger picture than at first you thought when you look back at the whole of your life? Are there defining moments you can mark in your life that God did something epic for you?
2. Can you remember a time when you had to trust God in the difficult day, even when it didn’t make sense or wasn’t logical to do so?
3. How has the “Gospel” been presented to you in the past? Was the presentation accurate to the definition of the word “Gospel”? How did that impact your life?
Passages to Ponder
1. David was young and now he is old. (We prefer to call him “vintage”.) He was believed to be in his early 70’s at the writing of the following Psalm. Last week we spoke of what we have been handed in the realm of curses and blessings. This week we move on from there. What is David’s perspective and his subsequent desire and how can that be lived out practically in our lives? (Psalm 71:17-18)
2. How can we effectively set a pattern for future generations in our lives? (Deuteronomy 4:9-10)
Show Me the Way
1. What are the “Windows of Heaven” you need God to open up in your life? Do you hear God saying, “I will”? Or do you hear another voice saying, “Look if” in a mocking & sarcastic way? (2 Kings 7:1-2)
2. After contemplating this message and tonite’s questions, what would it mean for God to open up the “Windows of Heaven” in your life?
3. What are some things you can do to make the “Gospel” stand out as “Good News” or “Victory” in your everyday life?
