Reflect and Move
What are you looking forward to the most right now and why?
What stood out to you most from the message?
Think about a time when someone encouraged or motivated you. Why is that moment valuable to you?
Why is it important to take time to reflect? What can prevent you from doing it?
Like King David with Bathsheba, have you ever felt like you had to keep covering up your mistakes? Why or why not?
What can make it difficult to take action? To repent?
Read James 1:22-24.
What’s one step you can take this week to reflect, repent, and/or allow God to redeem?
Let’s end our time praying together. You can say something like;
“God, thank you for loving us and understanding when we make mistakes. Thank you for redeeming our past and turning bad things into good. Please give us the energy and strength to reflect and repent to you when we drift away. Amen.”
Reflections aren’t just for selfies or pre-date checkups. Sure, mirrors are great for fixing your hair… but what about that spiritual broccoli in your teeth? This week, Joel Firebaugh reminds us that faith isn’t about sitting still and feeling convicted, then going to Chipotle after service. It’s about getting up and doing something about it. When we recognize and repent, Jesus can redeem.
