Everyone knows what it feels like to gain and lose hope in life. The search for hope is a look at how we as people need to have a source of hope in our life and will spend our lives searching for hope if we do not have it. 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.
Opening Thought:
What is the first thing that comes to you min when you thing about Hope? Are there any images? Famous movie scenes? Books you’ve read? Personal experiences? What symbolizes hope for you?
Discussion 1
Read through the lament of Job in chapter 6:1-11
· Describe a time in your life when you were full of hope.
· How would you describe the status of Job’s hope?
o What lead to this?
· Describe a time in your life when you have lost hope.
o Would Job’s lament ever describe your life? Have you written or felt something similar?
Discussion 2
Read Hebrews 11:1
· What is the difference between this hope and the hope of Job? Where is this hope placed?
Look through Hebrews 11:4-38
· What are some of the amazing thing the ancients di with this hope?
· Have you ever witnessed the type of hope in action? Describe.
Read 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
· Have you ever experienced the felling of “outwardly wasting way” while “inwardly being renewed?” Why do you think this happens?
· How can you fix your eyes on the things that are eternal this week?
