Community Meditation

 

Know

  • Why is it important to begin life and see all of life in understanding who God is and what God has done? Read John 17. Discuss what is meant in verse 6. How did Jesus “manifest God’s name” to us.
  • Discuss the “horn” metaphor in the Bible. Discuss its messianic imagery in Hannah’s song in 1 Samuel 2.

Feel

  • How do you deal with your emotions when the other team seems to be winning? When your political views and candidates are defeated? When an arrogant leader at work or on TV is lifting himself up?
  • How do the promises of God’s judgment help? How do you feel about that actual person? How should you see them?

Live

  • Galatians 6 encourages us not to “grow weary of doing good” and Romans 12 teaches us to “overcome evil with good.” Where do you need God’s help in this?
  • In what ways have you forgotten God’s judgment and resorted to your own?
