An Ancient Path | #GOALS Week 1
It’s a new year which means an opportunity for a new you. Share what you are most excited about for 2021 and why.
Read Matthew 7:13-14. We’re often faced with a decision: to take the easier path, or the one that’s narrow but is more beneficial. What’s that one thing in your life in which the narrow path feels hardest to choose? Why did you pick that one?
Read 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Philippians 4:6, Hebrews 10:24-25. Spending time in the bible, prayer, and being in a positive community will lead us to a new path that is full of life. Which one of these areas are you strong in and which area could you invest in more?
Growth comes one step at a time. To go to a new place in 2021, it starts with doing just one thing different. Where do you want to invest more in the bible, prayer, or community? Identify one way you can take a step in that direction, then put it on your calendar for this week to do it. Make that step specific and practical, one that we could follow up with you on next time.
Close your time taking turns praying for each other, or read this over the group. “God thank you for this time and the people in this group. We ask for your blessings, peace, and protection for this group. We ask that you walk with us to a new path. Amen.”
It’s 2021, and we’re all ready for something new. Trouble is that all of the “new” paths that we take every January always seem to lead back to the same old disappointments and frustrations. Maybe in order to get somewhere new in life, we’ve got to get ourselves on an old path. Today, Brian talks to us about how we can find life in the ancient path that God offers us.
