Jesus Is Greater – Part 6: Take A Break!

BIG IDEA:

We find rest in Jesus by believing Him

SCRIPTURES:

Hebrews 4:1-13, Psalm 95, John 1:1-5, Genesis 1:2, 2:25,

Isaiah 55:10-13

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

Q: What does “rest” mean to you? How rested do you feel on an average week?

Q: How do the Scriptures/concepts from this week help you grow as a disciple

who loves God, loves people & serves the world (lives on incarnational

mission) in everyday life?

Q: Based on these Scriptures, how can you move from unbelief to belief, from

just knowing to actually doing in your life?

Connect with God (UP)...

Q: Read Hebrews 4:1-13. Why is it important to remember the Garden in

Genesis 2 where God & humanity lived in perfect, restful relationship when

you process this passage?

Q: Do you feel like God wants to be with you? Why or why not?

Q: “Rest reveals.” What are the biggest barriers to you finding restin Jesus?If

you’re not sure, simply try to rest & see what distractions you have!

Q: Why is God’s Word so important to finding real rest? Reading the Bible

won’t magically make you rest more, but how could spending time with God

in His Word help bring a deeper sense of rest?

Connect with Others (IN)...

Q: Think about the ways that you relate with those around you (family, friends,

church, neighbors, work, teams, etc.) – do you influence them to experience

rest in Jesus, or do you add pressure, anxiety, insecurity, fear, etc.?

Connect with the World (OUT)...

Q: What are some creative ways you can invite those around you to

experience Sabbath rest in a way that reveals Jesus to them?
