Together Group Questions
Read John 4:23-24. Jesus said that true worshipers would worship “in Spirit and truth.” What does it specifically look like to worship God with sincerity and biblical truth? Which is easier/ harder for you: to worship God with your head and knowledge (knowing who He is)... OR worshiping God with your heart and emotions (a passionate response to who He is)?
How do we “hunger” for God? Have each person in the group share a way or two of how we can hunger for God in our every day life. Also, share one habit you can do to increase your desire for God’s presence this week?
According to Psalm 100:4, we are to enter our worship time with thanksgiving and praise. Why do you think these 2 things are so necessary as a starting point in prayer and worship? How can gratitude change your attitude?
Read Mark 1:35. What stands out to you about Jesus’ example of making time to pray? No matter what your prayer life looks like right now, if you could add just five minutes a day more to pray, when would those 5 minutes a day be? And where would they be? (Describe your exact time and setting you would choose)
Read Romans 12:1. What are some everyday ways we can “offer ourselves” to God in worship? And which area of your life is the hardest to fully surrender to God in this season?
Close the group by going around and sharing how each of you would like to encounter God MORE through worship and prayer.

Text: Ps. 119:9-16, Jer. 15:16, Is. 55:11, Ps. 1:1-3, Rom. 8:31-39, Col. 3:15-17
- God’s Word:
1. Reveals KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM.
2. Reveals GOD’S WILL for our lives.
3. Is PRACTICAL and full of POWER.
- How to Encounter God through the Word:
1. Set aside TIME and READ it.
2. MEDITATE on it and PRAY through it.
3. Ask: What does it SAY? What are the FACTS?
4. Ask: What are the spiritual PRINCIPLES I can learn from this?
5. Ask the Spirit to REVEAL the truth you need from the Word.
- 20 Ways to Encounter God through the Word:
Survey the Word, Listen to the Word, Read the Word Silently, Read the Word Aloud (Privately), Read the Word Publicly, Discuss the Word, Hand-copy the Word, Study the Word, Cross-reference the Word, Stress the Word, Highlight the Word, Paraphrase the Word, Sketch the Word, Memorize the Word, Personalize the Word, Sing the Word, Display the Word, Share the Word, Teach (or Preach) the Word, Do the Word!
- Encountering God Through the Word Prayer:
Lord, make us a people who are endlessly hungry for your words of life. Make us a people that have so tasted and seen your goodness poured out in the pages of Scripture that we make time to feast on the bread of your Word. Fill us with a longing for deeper, more consistent encounters with you that we would search the pages of Scripture for truths that will open our hearts to you more fully. May our lives be marked today by the fruit grown from the seed of your Word.

TOGETHER GROUP QUESTIONS
Read Acts 2:14-41. What stands out to you in this passage?
Peter, a common uneducated man, stood up and addressed thousands of people with the message of the Gospel. He did this by the power of God’s Spirit. In what area of your life (or what person or group) could you be more bold in sharing the good news of Jesus?
In Peter’s speech to the crowd, he makes it very clear that Jesus is central to everything. In your everyday conversations (friends, family, work), what topics take center stage instead of Jesus? What is one practical way you can intentionally point someone toward Jesus this week?
Read Psalm 110:1 and Acts 2:36. What does it mean that Jesus is both “Lord” and “Christ?” What is one area of your life that you struggle to fully “submit” to the Lord, putting yourself under His authority? How can you practically take a step toward surrender?
When people heard Peter’s sermon, they were “cut to the heart.” How does conviction by the Holy Spirit work with you? When was the last time you were convicted? Describe the process for you.
Repentance means turning away or turning from, not just being sorry for something. What is a specific attitude, habit, or pattern in your life that the Holy Spirit is calling you to turn from? What action would show that you “turned” away from sin and toward God?
Close by praying for each other in these things.

Encountering the Resurrected Christ
April 5, 2026 • Jason Carson • Luke 24:33–49
TOGETHER GROUP QUESTIONS
Read Luke 24:33-49. What is God’s heart for His people?
In the passage above, Jesus encourages His disciples in 8 different ways about all the benefits and blessings we have since the resurrection. As you read those verses again, which of those promises stand out to you, and how does it give you hope and encouragement?
In verses 44-49, Jesus tells them to 1). Remember who He is, 2). Remember what He’s done, 3). Remember what they’ve seen, and 4). To remember His promises. Go around the group and have each person share 1 or 2 things (from this list of 4) that they know about Jesus today.
One of the great things about the resurrection was how God’s light broke through all the darkness and evil of this world. What is one way you can let your light shine in the darkness?
How does the resurrection of Jesus impact your personal faith? And how do you personally experience Jesus’ transformative resurrecting power in your everyday life?
We know that the resurrection signifies life after death and eternal life, but it also shows us the possibilities of new life, beginnings, and transformation in our lives right now! What is a specific area of your life that you are seeking resurrection power for, and how can your Together Group support you in this journey?
