The Down-Down
We Must See God as Most Glorious
We Must See that God is Glorified in the Gospel
Community Meditation Questions
Growing in Knowledge
- Jesus is LORD so we want to follow him and live his mission. How is his mission expressed in the great commandments (Matt 22:37-40) and great commission (Matthew 28:18-20)?
- Why is it is right for God to seek his own glory and praise? Why is it wrong for people to do this? How is living to glorify God good for people?
Feeling Life Deeply
- Have you ever felt joy about something to the point you were so excited that it felt like worship? How can we enjoy things in this life yet not turn them into an idol?
Living with Courage
- Share some ways you have seen God glorified in your home, in the church and in your community?Have you thought through a mission statement for your life or your family that reflects your unique gifts and calling? What are you working towards together?
