Not Talk, But Power | Week 1
Small Group Discussion
Opening Question:
Share about a time when you felt like you were working really hard at something but not seeing any results (like running on a treadmill). How did that feel?
Key Takeaways: “Why are so many people living a Spirit-less life?”
- Some people just aren’t aware of Him.
- Some people are convinced He’s unimportant or unnecessary.
- Some people want nothing to do with Him.
Discussion Questions:
- Are you more prone to being a ‘crazy camper’ who overvalues spiritual experiences or a ‘confused camper’ who avoids the Holy Spirit altogether, and why?
- In what areas of your life are you relying on self-effort rather than the power of the Holy Spirit, and how is that working out for you?
- When was the last time you genuinely asked the Holy Spirit to fill you, guide you, or speak to you before making a decision or starting your day?
- How have you resisted, quenched, or grieved the Holy Spirit when He tried to convict you or redirect your choices this past week?
- What would change in your marriage, parenting, or relationships if you truly operated within the power of God rather than your own strength?
- Why do you think many Christians know about the Holy Spirit but live powerless lives that look no different from those who don’t follow Jesus?
- What specific area of your life do you need to surrender to the Holy Spirit today, acknowledging that you cannot change it through your own willpower?
