This guide is a tool to help you facilitate discussion with your rGroup. Use it to lead your group in discovering, owning, and applying God’s Word. This is a flexible tool, not a rigid task list. Follow the Holy Spirit’s lead as you lead your group. You don’t need to ask every question.
Opening Question: What’s a time in your life where you feel like you’d lost all hope?
Understanding God’s Word: Know and Understand the Truth
READ Luke 24:13-35
- Read vs. 27 again. What does this mean?
- How does all of Scripture truly point us to Jesus, whether he is mentioned by name or not?
- What does this passage reveal to you about God?
- What does this passage reveal to you about yourself?
Living and Applying God’s Word: Give a Vision of Life With God
- Tell us about a time when Jesus revealed himself to you, when he became quite real to you.
- Jesus’ disciples found encouragement and hope when they shared the good news and truth about Jesus with one another.
- How does being part of a church and living in community with other believers help remind us about the good news of the gospel and give you hope for this life?
Assessing the Heart: Identify and Address Sin
- In spite of the fact that God is daily present in your life and always working for you, what are some of the reasons that you fail to see him or recognize his work?
- Tell us about a time where you’ve really questioned God’s plan or had your doubts about Jesus.
- In what way does the resurrection of Jesus bring hope into your life, into your doubts, into your struggles, into the difficulties?
- Examples from Scripture: Resurrection = We can experience freedom from sin (Romans 6); Resurrection = we have the hope of victory over death and hope of eternal life (1 Corinthians 15)
- God’s Word is the greatest resource that we’ve been given for when we lose our focus and belief in Jesus.
- How might spending intentional time in God’s Word help you in those moments and seasons of life?
