Hyperlink Prep : Relationships Week 1

admin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:47:11 +0000

This Sunday we begin a new series on building healthy relationships. We will be going through the Old Testament book of Hosea. We’ll explore the story of Hosea’s marriage to an unfaithful woman, an illustration of the Israelites’ relationship with God. These real-life events have much to teach us about ourselves, our relationship with God, and our relationships with others. We’ll see the power of God’s unconditional love, and we’ll confront our tendency to stray from God. Let’s do a little prep work so you are ready to talk about it this Sunday.

• Do you think God would ever ask you to do something crazy or unexpected or unusual? Why or why not?

Read Hosea 1:2, 2:16-20, 3:1

• What’s the difference between conditional love and unconditional love?

• What happens in your life while you are disconnected from God? What effects does the separation have on your relationships, thought life, and decisions?

Feel free to comment! I hope and pray that you come ready to discuss and share. See ya Sunday at 9:30am!

Hyperlink Prep : HABITS Week 5

admin — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:30:34 +0000

This Sunday we continue our series on Building Wise Habits. Only 2 weeks left! Here is some prep work to get you thinking a little for this weeks small group time.

We live in a stuff-oriented culture. Wherever we turn, we’re reminded of more “things” we can accumulate. Advertisers target teenagers with messages about all the products they “must” buy or “should” own.

• Do you own your stuff or does your stuff own you?

• What’s the best thing someone has shared with you? Why did you appreciate it so much?

Read PSALM 24:1

Read Proverbs 3:9-10

• What is the greatest blessing God has given you? Why is it your greatest blessing?

Feel free to comment right here on our website on some of these questions! I hope and pray that you come ready to discuss and share. See ya Sunday at 9:30am!

Did you realize you have a whole lot to offer this world? Did you know that you’re an original masterpiece of God? You have something unique to offer the world!

Read 1 Timothy 4:12

How do you usually respond when someone asks you, “What do you plan to with your life?”

What are some of your best skills? What do you do well?

What is some of the evidence in your life that God can move through you to help other people?

If your house were burning down but you had time to run inside and grab one thing, what would you

choose, and why?

What are some good reasons for Christians to memorize Bible verses? What are some ways it might

help your spiritual life?

How have you used Scripture to battle temptation? What kinds of verses and topics have been most

helpful to you?

Hyperlink Prep : HABITS Week 2

admin — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:00:21 +0000

This Sunday we continue our series on building wise HABITS. Last week we talked about Hanging out with God. This week we talk about hanging out with each other. Having friendships that keep us accountable are incredibly important things to have. So to prepare a little for this Sundays’ Hyperlink discussion group think about this:

How do you know when a team is unified and experiencing harmony?

What friend or friends are holding you accountable?

Read Psalm 133

Take a moment to silently answer these questions to yourself: What are some things in your life that you don’t want to share with other people, even your closest friends? What’s keeping you from opening up about these things? What “guarantee” would you need to be willing to tell a close friend about this issue? How can an accountable friendship help you take ownership of your personal faith?

I hope and pray that you come ready to discuss and share this Sunday about accountable friendships. See ya Sunday at 9:30am!
