Sharing Hope

Everyone knows what it feels like to gain and lose hope in life. Sharing hope is a challenge for all whom have found hope in Christ to share it with others through acts of kindness and service. It is my goal to spark thought and discussion for those who watch it. Enjoy. This is a small group series I created for North Way Christian Community in Pittsburgh, PA.

Discussion 1

Read 1 Peter 3:15-17

·      Think of a time in your life when someone asked you why you lived differently.  How did you respond? 

·      What happened in that moment?  How did this exchange feel for you?

Discussion 2

Read Hebrews 6:10-12

·      When was the last time you have shown God love by loving His people?  Describe the experience.

·      How did these experiences help build your faith or make your hope sure?

·      Why don’t we actively pursue more of these serving opportunities in our lives?

Discussion 3

·      Take some time to think about a possible “Hope Project.”

·      Do you have a personal contact that may need some assistance?  Like and elderly neighbor or family in need?

·      Is there an area of need that someone else could help you with?

·      Is there an area of need that is specific passion for you?  Elderly, abandoned children, homeless?

Prayer

·      Pray that God will give you an opportunity to share hope with those in contact with you this week. 

·      Pray for courage to share hope in love.
