Community Group Study Notes
- How has your week been? What went well? What was challenging? Did you learn anything new about God?
- Have someone in your group give a brief recap of Sunday’s message, highlighting the primary Scripture points and the main idea of the message.
- How did this message strengthen and/or correct your previous ideas about God’s will? Was there anything you heard for the first time or that caught your attention, challenged, or confused you? Did you learn anything new about God or yourself this week?
- Do you spend more time asking God for His will or asking Him to accomplish your own? Why do you think that is?
- What do the four evidences of a life pleasing to God (Colossians 1:10–11) reveal about what God values most?
- Where in your life right now do you most need wisdom and understanding from the Spirit?
- How have you seen endurance, patience, or joyful gratitude grow in your life through prayer?
- Is God’s delight your greatest pursuit? What would need to shift for that to be true?
- What action step do you need to take in response to this week’s message? How can your group hold you accountable to this step?
Action Steps
- Each morning this week, pray Colossians 1:9-12 over yourself, your family, and your community group.
- Spend time in reflection. Identify one clear area of God’s revealed will (like forgiveness, love, serving, or holiness) where you’ve been hesitant to act. Take one step of obedience this week.
- At the end of each day this week, reflect: “Did I live today for God’s pleasure or my own?” Share your reflections with your group next session.
