This Week’s Spiritual Practice: Stop, trust, and rest. Theme: You Count in Creation Reflect Together: What impacted you the most from last week’s reading that you expressed in your Genesis Growth Guide also well as learned from last Sunday’s gathering? Share Together: What do you find as the most interesting animal God created and why? Read Together: Genesis 1:1-2:3 (divide reading within your group) Discuss Together: After reading afresh the creation account, what is one aspect that stood out for you? How is it written more like a poem than a lab report? What two foundational truths does verse 1 announce? What is it that makes humanity distinct from the rest of creation? What does it mean for us as people to bear the image of God? What responsibilities come with being made in God’s image? What does Genesis 1 teach us about God? About how we matter? What is the goal of creation? How does the way Genesis 1 is written point to this goal? How does the creation account empower you to be “fruitful and multiply” in your life this week? How can you use prayer to fulfill your calling in this? Pray Together: Share how any progress God has answered prayer as well as requests. Next Week’s Reminder: In preparation for next week’s gathering and Group, remember to read Genesis 3-4 and write your responses in your growth guide.
