AS YOU MEET WITH EACH OTHER THIS WEEK, CONSIDER THESE QUESTIONS:
This Sunday Basil spoke about the pandemic season as a type of wilderness experience, as we looked at Jesus’ time in the wilderness after His baptism. This wilderness experience of the pandemic has caused us to experience much vulnerability and disconnection.
1. In what ways have you experienced disconnection and vulnerability during this pandemic? How do these feelings tempt us to act independently of God rather than relying on Him?
2. The enemy knows how to quote scripture. The best lies are veiled in half truths. What half truths are we prone to believe during wilderness experiences? How do we combat those lies with truth?
3. How does God meet us in our vulnerability and disconnection in order to bring about hope in our lives and the lives of those around us? How can embracing our vulnerability and disconnection open us up to the healing and restorative power of Christ? How is God’s strength made perfect in weakness?
4. How can embracing our own brokenness and vulnerability help us to love others better?
