As a group, discuss the nuances of the text(s) this week, and spend some time adjusting your dials to become more aware of the beauty of the moment you find yourself in.
Thaw
- It's June! How is this year going compared to your expectations and intentions six months ago?
- What have you learned over the years about what you intend and what actually occurs?
- What most stuck with you from Sunday morning?
- What is something sacred you noticed today?
Leader note: let the room go quiet as the group reviews their day. Sacred happened, even if it was missed on the first pass.
Read
- Mark 7:24-8:26
- Thoughts and observations?
Discuss
- Why is it easier to see God's work in retrospect?
- What would it take to better see God at work in the present?
- In what ways have you been figuratively blind and deaf in your life?
Read
- 1 Corinthians 2:8-10
- Thoughts and observations?
Discuss
- What causes us to miss or not recognize that which God is on record as having already revealed?
- Why do we continue to not adjust our lives to live more attuned to reality, even after recognizing we're "missing it"?
- In what ways can you imagine your group being a place that sees and hears what God is already up to, in the midst of all the peaks and valleys, busyness and boring of life?
- In what ways can this group accidentally add to the deafness and blindness Jesus deeply sighs about?
