Series… Reclaiming the Ordinary: Simple Rhythms for a Meaningful Life.
Main Ideas:
We’re formed by whatever we allow to inform us The voices and rhythms that shape you will determine the fruit of your life. Creating a rhythm of transformation will guide us to a life of love and peace. Jesus is the source of the life we were created to live. Pruning can hurt, but it’s always for a purpose: more fruit, more life. If we are connected to Jesus, we WILL bear fruit. We produce fruit by loving like Jesus would if he were living our lives. A world in chaos needs a people in rhythm with Jesus.
Invitation:
- Evaluate your inputs and voices. [Use Philippians 4:8 as your guide.]
- Create a rhythm of being connected to Jesus [Take 5 minutes each day to the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7).]
- Allow Jesus’ Words to live in and through you. Ask What does Jesus’ love look like?
Discussion Questions:
- When you think about your weekends, do they usually leave you rested or more drained? Why do you think that is?
- What makes rest so hard for you personally—guilt, distraction, busyness, expectations?
- Read Matthew 11:28. Jesus offers rest for our souls. How do you think that’s different from just taking a day off or a vacation?
- What’s one small, practical way you could begin to practice Sabbath rest—something that would restore you and connect you to God?
- How can your group pray with you this week?
