The Tension: The push and pull of staying where you are and the desire to get where you want to be.
If you stay where you are, you forfeit your future.
1. Sometimes it takes time to understand what was clear all along. What theological entrenchments do you still cling to? Share how it prevents you from moving forward.
2. Explore the connection between loving God, loving people, and making disciples. Can these exist without one another?
3. We cannot be, do, or achieve what God wants for us if we stay where we are. Paul’s goal was reaching Rome, knowing its influence in his mission. What is your “Rome?”
4. What steps can you take to move towards not staying where you are?
5. Your small group cannot stay where it is. How can you move forward in loving God more, loving people more, witnessing to others?
6. Is there spiritual tension in your life or are you happy with the status quo?
The future of faith rests upon our shoulders. What will future generations say about our ‘once upon a time?’
