PRAY:

Have someone read Psalm 26:11-12 aloud. After you read it, spend a minute or two silently reflecting on the passage. Then spend some time praying as a group for anything that this passage draws to your mind or stirs up in your heart.

ONE ANOTHERING:

Try to think of some practical needs you can share to give others the opportunity to step up and love you. It's okay if it takes some time to get comfortable with this. It takes time and practice to be vulnerable with one another... but amazing things happen when we are. Remember that the Benevolence Ministry is a resource for our comGroups.

  • How can we love or serve one another this week?

PRACTICE:

Review this month's Practice together as a group.

  • Who is God bringing to your mind for this practice?
  • Have you had an opportunity to do this practice? How did it go?

READ:

Ephesians 3:14-21


SHARE:

  • What stands out to you from this passage?
  • How is Paul's prayer different from how you normally pray? How is it similar?
  • What does it look like for you to be rooted and grounded in love? What images come to your mind when you think about this?
  • What kind of strength do you think Paul has in mind in verse 18?
  • In what ways do we comprehend the love of God together (all the saints) that we could not on our own?
  • Why do you think we are sometimes afraid to ask God for big things like Paul does in his prayer?
  • What experiences or doubts have limited your imagination of what is possible with God?
  • Who in your life do you feel God calling you to pray a big, imaginative prayer for on a regular basis?

PRAY:

Spend some time silently reflecting on who God is bringing to your mind to pray for before you close in prayer.
