Who would you choose to perform in the next Super Bowl Halftime Show?
What stood out to you most from the message?
Why do you think complaining and grumbling is so easy to slip into?
Why do you think we often forget the negative things that have happened in our lives?
Do you struggle to remember what God has done for you? Why or why not?
Read 1 Corinthians 10:1-4.
How can remembering what God provided for the Israelites in the Old Testament encourage us to trust him today?
What is one area in your life where you need to grow by faithfully persevering?
What is something in your life that you feel you need, but you haven’t received it? How could God be encouraging you to trust him within it?
What’s one step you can take this week to seek faithfulness and what God has for you?
Let’s end our time praying together. You can say something like;
“God, thank you for providing and being patient with us. Give us strength to fight against grumbling and bitterness, and instead to seek faithfulness. Help us keep our focus on You. Amen.”
It seems like in the Bible, miracles are happening all the time. Did they stop happening when they invented the Polaroid or something? What’s up with that?
Some of us feel like if we saw a miracle happen before our own eyes, we’d be the best believers of all time. Yet the Israelites saw the Red Sea part and were grumbling and complaining again three days later. Jump in to hear Brian Tome break down why growth, faith, and gratitude often starts with having a good memory.
