The Endurance to Last | Unbreakable Week 3
Spring is a time of renewal and new beginnings. Share with the group what you’re most excited about moving into this new season.
Jesus invites us to the truth that creates a path for us to get out of our deserts. Even if you’re unsure about the idea of Jesus, share with the group what you know about Jesus’ ways to live, and compare that to the way culture says we should live.
There are 3 ways out of the desert and—spoiler alert—they all end with Jesus. 1) Journey of Trust 2) Journey of Obedience 3) Journey of Relationship. Discuss as a group which of these 3 you believe God may be asking you to hone in on. What does that mean for your specific situation?
When we lean more on the ways of Jesus and less on our own way, we will find the strength, courage, and endurance to get out of our desert. What is one step you can take this week to move into the ways of Jesus—no matter where you are?
Ask God for his spirit to come into your life where you are right now through prayer. Here’s one you can use: “Jesus thank you for your invitation to share with us the truth. We need your clarity in our deserts. We need your spirit and your presence. Help us to be unbreakable in whatever life brings. Amen.”
“Will it ever end?” That’s the real question of our hard times, isn’t it? We want healing for the pain, answers for the questions, relief from the isolation—but when will it get here? It’s easy to feel like we’ll be stuck in the desert forever. Yet God says that he will not abandon us; join us today as Alli talks about how to have the endurance to last through hard times.
