SESSION 4: Listening to God
1. Welcome each other to your small group.
2. Share your name and your response to this introductory sharing question:
- What was something that stood out to you in chapter 4?
3. Sharing Questions
- What was your reaction to the illustration in the book about the author's conversation with Sharon (p. 47-48)?
- Have you ever had an experience where you sensed that God had interrupted your life?
- Have you ever had an experience of God's whispers in your life (a subtle thought that just wouldn't go away)?
- Have you ever had the experience of hearing God's words to you through another person?
4. Praying.
- Look at the prayer on pages 57-58 and pick out and pick out a few lines that you would like to have prayed for you.
- Pray the requested lines for the person in your group just to the left of you.
5. Assignment for next week
- Read chapter 5 and think about what stood out to you in this chapter.
- Try to take a few minutes in a quiet place each day this week to pray the following prayer:
"God, would you help me grow in my ability to listen to you?
Would you help me to listen better for you in other people?
I'm pausing for a bit here to listen for you.
What do you have to say to me today?"
