Mothers Day | 2026
Small Group Discussion
Opening Question:
Share a memory of a time when something didn’t turn out the way you expected but, looking back, you can see God’s hand in it.
Key Takeaways: “Placing your dream in the Nile”
- God CARES more than you do
- God is doing MORE than you will ever understand
- Just because God asks you to LET GO doesn’t mean you are LOSING OUT
- You don’t have to CELEBRATE the place or plan to have CONFIDENCE in God’s purposes
Discussion Questions:
- How does understanding that God cares more about you than you care about yourself change the way you approach difficult circumstances in your life?
- What are some ‘pearls’ in your life that God might be asking you to let go of, and why is it so difficult to trust Him with them?
- Jochebed had to place her baby in the Nile despite not understanding God’s full plan. What situation in your life requires you to trust God without seeing the complete picture?
- The sermon mentions that 95% of moms feel underappreciated. How can we as a community better recognize and honor the sacrifices mothers make daily?
- How does the concept of ‘hope deferred makes the heart sick’ resonate with your current season of life, and where do you find strength when your hopes are delayed?
- Moses was raised in Pharaoh’s palace as part of God’s larger plan. Can you identify a difficult experience from your past that God used to position you for something greater?
- What does it look like practically to ‘fix your eyes on Jesus’ rather than on your circumstances when you’re going through a storm?
- We stated that sometimes following God makes life feel more difficult rather than easier. How do you reconcile this reality with the promise of God’s goodness?
- In what areas of your life are you trying to ‘do the lifting’ instead of trusting that God will carry His work to completion?
- How can we shift from demanding explanations from God to simply seeking His presence, especially when we don’t understand what He’s doing?
