DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

Q: When life gets crazy, what do you typically turn to as a refuge & anchor to

make things OK?

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 6:13-20. Look at how God the Father calls you to find refuge

in & be anchored to God the Son & how you have great confidence in this

because of God the Spirit. Why is it so important to understand that God is

the One who calls you to Himself & makes the way, instead of thinking He

sends you on an impossible “wild goose chase” on your own?

Q: How does the image of Jesus taking you by the hand & walking you into the

presence of God fit with your understanding of how you relate with God?

Why is this so important?

Connect with Others (IN)...

Q: When you walk alongside people who are hurting, how can you encourage

them to first & foremost find refuge in & anchor themselves to Jesus through

it all?

Q: How can we lovingly help each other see other things that we’re trying to

anchor ourselves to that aren’t going to work?

Connect with the World (OUT)...

Q: How can you tangibly share or live out these Truths this week in a way that

draws others to Jesus?
