Are You Enjoying God In Your Relationships?

DISCUSS & ENGAGE THE SCRIPTURES

Access our Bible App event with Scriptures and message notes from the weekend.


1. Read Genesis 1:26 and Matthew 22:37-40. God created people in His image and likeness, and He shows us that loving them is part of how we love Him. As you think about the people God has entrusted to you in this season, what might He be inviting you to appreciate, enjoy, or celebrate about them?


2. Read 1 Samuel 23:17. Jonathan chose to put the relationship first. How might God be inviting you to do the same in your relationships?


3. Read Philippians 2:3-5. The message highlighted four ways we can enjoy relationships. Which one do you sense the Holy Spirit inviting you to lean into this week, and why?

- Commit to them

- Ask questions

- Be present

- Meet their needs


4. Relationships reflect and reveal the goodness of God. How has God used the relationships in this Circle to encourage, challenge, or grow you, and how can we keep building deeper relationships?


5. Circles are one of the most intentional ways we pursue relationships and grow as disciples of Jesus. As you think about the people in your life, who could you invite into a Circle, and how could you invite them?

PRAY

May we enjoy God through the relationships He’s giving us in Jesus’ name

PRACTICE PLAN

It’s week three of our summer practice plan of celebration – simply paying attention and calling attention to the goodness of God. What is the Holy Spirit revealing to you through it?
