DISCUSSION QUESTIONS | WEEK 1 TALK WITH A FRIEND Grab a friend and discuss what you learned this weekend with them. 1. Why is is so significant that all people are made in the image of God? How does it change the way you think about yourself? The people you love? The people you don’t like? 2. How does the story of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) mirror all of the problems at the heart of mankind’s rebellion (hint: think about control, fear, and insulation from God)? How is God’s response actually an action of grace? 3. If you were to estimate, what portion of your life do you dedicate to trying to fix things in the world/your world that are “messed up?” How does the knowledge that God has had a plan from the beginning to fix these very things give you hope? SEND IT Put what you are learning into action! 1. How does this impact your life? What will you do or change as a result of what you’ve learned? TIME WITH GOD Our message this weekend covered some important ground in Scripture. Take time each day this week to dig into God’s word and allow it to impact your life. Monday: Genesis 1-2 Tuesday: Genesis 3:1-4:16 Wednesday: Genesis 6:5-22 & Genesis 7 Thursday: Genesis 8:1-9:17 Friday: Genesis 11:1-9 If you’re new to reading Scripture on your own, you can use the SOAP method. 1. Start with S-Scripture: read the passage. 2. Move on to O-Observation: what is interesting? What is confusing? What does this passage reveal about the world, God, and people (including yourself)? 3. Spend some time in A-Application: what do you sense you might need to do or change in response to what you have read? 4. Close your time with God in P-Prayer: talk to Him about your life, the day ahead, and what you are learning. == Sermon Series: CliffsNotes | Week 1 Speaker: Pastor Cody Surratt Date: May 12th, 2024
