Digging Deeper | Play The Movie ๐Ÿฟ

Use this simple study guide to help you dig deeper into the weekend message with your family, your small group, or even act as a guide during your own personal quiet time with God. Grab your Bible or Bible App and a journal and write down what God puts on your heart!

Getting Started
  • What is your all time favorite movie?
  • Has a movies’ ending ever let you down?
  • What’s your favorite movie theatre snack?
Let’s Talk
  • During this message we asked this question: “When you are gone, what do you want people to say about you?”. Take a moment and share with the group what you hope to be known for.
  • Honoring God with our lives takes a plan. We have to be intentional if we want to be known for our faith. What steps can you take to be intentional about honoring God?
  • We all need motivation from others at times. How can you encourage others around you (or in your small group) to make decisions through the lease of “does this honor God?”.

 

Let’s Pray
Take prayer requests and pray that everyone in the group would be known as great leaders, great parents, great spouses, and people who had huge, audacious faith. ย
