Real God Transforming the Lives of Real People
Join us for a journey to learn about Bible characters who were real people and the God moments in their lives which marked their stories by divine interventions, special assignments, and transformations. Read these passages of Scriptures together as a family prior to the Sunday’s message in church, then discuss how they relate to our daily lives.
As you’ve read this week’s passage of Scripture, ask yourself or others in your group these questions:
- What parts of this story can you or someone you know relate to?
- What questions do you have about them and their story?
- What does this story teach us about God?
- How does this character remind you of what God has done for us through Jesus? Does their life remind you of our need for a savior?
Join a FOCUS Group to be a part of the weekly Bible reading discussions. Click here for all available FOCUS groups.
