Habits: Focus on Who We Put First
Worship: Spend time throughout the week during your time with God listening to Make Room by Community Music. As you spend time in worship, ask God to make space in your heart for Him to move into and do what only He can do.
Check-In: What habit have you committed to starting this year? What habit are you hoping to break this year?
Bible Readings: Anchor: Romans 12:2 MSG; Proverbs 27:19 GNT; 1 Peter 4:7-8; Romans 12:17-18; Colossians 3:13; Proverbs 13:20; 1 Corinthians 15:33; Hebrews 10:25; Ephesians 2:19; Acts 2:44; Ecclesiastes 4:8-9; Jeremiah 29:13
Preparation and Discussion for Group Time:
- What one thought has challenged you after hearing Ps Daniel speak around choosing the right relationships?
- Relationships are an essential part of who we are. Looking at the various relationships in your life, which of the following habits do you need to be intentional about putting into practice this year? What would change in your relationships if you did put these habits in place?
• Nurture your important relationships
• Restore broken relationships
• Redefine any harmful relationships
• Initiate meaningful relationships - Ps Daniel spoke about a number of possible next steps that we can take in order to continue our discipleship journey (namely becoming an Edge Church member, join a Life Group or a Freedom Group, and lastly to join a serving team). What next step do you need to consider taking? How, as a group, can we help each other in taking this step? Click this link to sign up in any for any of these opportunities.
- Our relationships with those in our lives are largely a reflection of our first and most important relationship, our relationship with God. How could you take steps to deepen and mature this relationship with God as it speaks about in our anchor verse Romans 12:2?
Check out and Prayer time: Spend time praying into the relationships we find ourselves in. That they would be God-honouring and life-giving.
Love God:
Read Romans 12:2 and thank God for that as we fix our attention on Him, He does the work of maturing us into all He has called us to be.
