Small Group Week 5

BUILD ON YOUR SUCCESSES

CATCHING UP/LOOKING AHEAD

   1.  Ask if anyone had a victory in the face of the opposition we inevitably face as we put things together again.

   2.  What God-given successes are you most grateful for?

KEY VERSE

So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days.

When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God.

Nehemiah 6:15–16

DISCOVERY QUESTIONS

   1.  As you read this chapter, did something come to mind that you could do to secure the investment you’ve put into rebuilding?

   2.  Who are the people in your support network?

   3.  Is there something you need to let go of in order to do all that God is asking you to do?

   4.  What hopes do you have for God to bless others through what he has rebuilt in your life?

LIVING ON PURPOSE

God’s five purposes for each of us are evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, ministry, and worship. In this section, we’ll look at how we can take practical steps to fulfill one of those purposes based on the truths we’ve looked at in this study.

MINISTRY

Our greatest ministry to others often comes out of our greatest struggles. Look for specific ways to encourage someone this week with the story of how God was with you as you sought to rebuild.

PRAYING TOGETHER

Take a moment to pray for one another’s needs.
