Important Items Week of January 2, 2022 Doing Life Together Study & Discussion for your Small Group Family Theme: Expanding the Kingdom of God in our lives and beyond Reflect Together: What was something that especially spoke to you from the Sunday message, and why? Share Together: What was one of your biggest testings in 2021 and how are you looking at 2022? Read Together: Colossians 1:9-14 Discuss Together: Thinking back to 2021, what were ways you experienced God’s blessings amidst all the turmoil? Name one area of your life experience in which you need to experience God’s kingdom in 2022. Why do you think growing in spiritual wisdom and understanding is so important? What could potentially detour you, or any of us, from growing in that spiritual wisdom and understanding in the coming year? How does it encourage you to know God not only wants to give you his presence but his power? Endurance, patience (to see the results in God’s time and way), joy. What’s one reason you think you may need those kingdom blessings to grow in you this coming year? Pray Together: Several suggestions were made in the message as to how to grow in your knowledge of God and his will, and in spiritual wisdom and understanding. What’s something on that list that is lacking for you, that you would ask the group to pray for?
