SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS

What do you think?

Have a member of the group quickly recap Sunday’s message and read through the fill-ins. What particular point stood out to you, challenged you, or raised a question for you?(MULTILINE)

The story of your life.

1. This past Sunday, we explored more of God’s attributes. Pastor Obie shared that the more we learn about God’s admirable attributes, the more we fall in love with Him. In your own personal social circle, share an admirable attribute of someone you know and respect? If you’re married, consider an admirable attribute of your spouse that you’d like to share. If you’re single, share an admirable attribute of a parent, friend, or mentor.(MULTILINE)
2. Pastor Obie talked about God being our “righteous redeemer.” Dictionary.com defines a redeemer as one who “makes up for, makes amends for, offsets some kind of shortcoming, clears by payment, or saves from sin.” We know that only Jesus can do this in an eternal sense. However there are lots of situations where people protect or save someone else from a bad outcome. Have you ever had someone save you from a bad outcome? Share the story if so.(MULTILINE)
