- Describe the times and places in your life where you have been inspired know God, to “taste and see that He is good.”
- When are the times in your life when you don’t (or don’t even want to) taste and see His goodness?
- Mr. Talley told us about King David who wrote Psalm 34 while hiding in a cave because a madman (King Saul) was trying to kill him. That was when David wrote: “Taste and see that the LORD is good.” Considering David’s experience (and perhaps your own), do you think it is easier or harder to taste/know/experience God when you are in a dark, scary, or tough place?
II. Mrs. Rivas highlighted several people who inspire her to know God.
- Who has inspired you to know God?
- What are you excited about or truly passionate about?
- What have you done to really seek and know who God is? Explain in detail.
- Whom do you seek to serve/please/honor on a daily basis?
III. Jesse West
- What things consume most of your time and energy?
- Whom do you turn to in times of struggle? How do they help or hinder you?
- Why are we so willing to invest our time in things that can harm us, and not invest our time in knowing God, who benefits us?
IV. Mr. Reno
- What are the means that God has provided for His people to enable us to grow in the knowledge of Him?
- What are the voices in your life that are shouting over the voices calling you to God’s Kingdom?
- What can you do to hear the voices God wants you to hear?
- How would you respond to someone who asked you this question: “I’ve been burned by the Church, and I like developing spirituality on my own. Can’t I grow in my knowledge of God apart from all the hypocrites who claim to worship Him?”
V. Ashley Moore
- What word would you use to describe your relationship with God?
- Have you settled the question of whether or not you are a Christian? If not; why not?
- What is it that is keeping you from the pursuit of knowing God?
VI. Dr. Steve Scheibner: YouTube video “In My Seat” (15 minutes)
- Why do you think you are here?
- Do you believe that your life is intended to be “all about you”? Why or why not?
- When Jesus was calling His disciples, He approached the local fishermen and asked them to follow Him and become “fishers of men”. What do you think that means?
- What are you “fishing” for in this life? Do you need to do to settle that question?
