Have you checked out Rooted or Discipling the Next Generation? Both are coming up and great helps for your spiritual growth!
DISCUSSION GUIDE: December 29 – Mike Antuma
“The Art of Forgetting”
LIFE: Are you a New Year’s resolution person? What is one of your 2025 goals?
ENGAGE THE MESSAGE:
- Read Isaiah 43:14-19.
- Isaiah 43:18 says, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” How can forgetting the past be helpful?
- How often do you dwell on past sins? What in your past would be better forgotten?
- What do you forget about God? What are God’s promises to all who believe and trust in Him?
- What are some stories about God you want to remember this year?
- What do you want God to do in your life this coming year?
- How do you define your identity? God says you are a child of God when you believe and trust in Him. Are you accepting and owning that identity?
- Read Ephesians Chapters 1 and 2 and find all the places that God defined as your identity in Christ.
MAKE DISCIPLES: Who can you encourage to forget the former things and remember who God is and what He has done?
