Also on this night we heard from our friends at Wilderness Canoe Base. Check out their website for amazing opportunities for groups and/or individuals, Wilderness Canoe Base.
o Takeaway – The narrative of the Old Testament is the story of God creating the world and humans to be in relationship with God. Sin/evil enters humankind and those relationships are strained. God works in numerous ways to reconcile/reconnect us to God. Over and over again, God extends grace, guidance, and love. God continues to do so today.
Discussion starters:
-
At
this point in your life, how do you answer this question-how did life begin/how
does it continue? Does it have an impact on your faith?
-
What do you find helpful about the Old Testament? Unhelpful?
-
When have you experienced something that didn’t make sense to you?
Did you relate it to your faith at all?
-
Can you think of a time/s you learned a lesson “the hard way”? This
seems to be the way God’s people have lived and learned from the beginning. (And
maybe still do today? J)
-
Who are the most important people &/or voices in your life
right now? How do they shape & impact your life?
- What is calling you? Is there anything you feel a nudge, or pull toward, to pursue in life?
Bible talk:
