Change is Coming
Are you Ready?

Community Group Questions Change is Coming - Are you Ready? Becky’s message took a look at the 4-page-a-day Change Your Life Daily Journal from the lens of having looked back at her life, over the last three decades, as someone who had kept a record (through journaling) of her daily conversations with God for over three decades. She brought insights into this week’s message from a CS Lewis’ speech, “The Inner Room,” that challenges men and women to consider living a different kind of life, that “if you lead it, will be the result of conscious and continuous effort. If you do nothing about it, if you drift with the stream…” Take turns reading the below scriptures in which Jesus talks about forgiving, giving, and prayer (which were taken from last week’s Change Your Life Daily Bible reading) and comment on what stands out to you. Matthew 3:1 Matthew 4:17 Matthew 5:42-47 Matthew 6:1-4, 14, 19-20, 24 Proverbs 2:1-5 This week’s questions are based on the message and Change Your Life Daily Journal: 1. Which area of your life — the physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental (intellectual) — needs the most focus or improvement and why? 2. What is harder for you to say? “No,” or “Will you forgive me?” Explain. 3. Share your current pattern for talking and listening to God? Is it consistent? If so, why? If not, what is hindering you from making a daily appointment with God? 4. In one sentence, what is the dream in your heart that won’t go away? What is one step you can take toward that fulfilling that dream this week?
