Remind Your Life Group About the 12:30pm Service
With the move to three services, we have the opportunity for 600 more souls to attend our church. Because the 8:30am and 10:30am services are far more likely to be where new families will attend, remind those in your Life Groups about the opportunity provided for visitors by them attending the 3rd service (if they can) - creating more space in one of the earlier services for those visitors to come and hear the Gospel.
Service Need For This Sunday Morning
We have 13 large bins that are being sent with John Sanborn to Uganda, loaded with supplies for the missionaries at SOS (thank you to all who helped provide gifts for them!). We need someone to help bring the bins to the Boise airport by 6:15am this Sunday. If you or someone in your life group has a truck, a strong back, and a willingness to help transport these bins, please reach out to Cody at cody@compassbible.tv to coordinate getting the bins tomorrow (Saturday 11/9) after the Men’s Breakfast.
Application Questions:
Wrestling With God
The Blessing You Need Most
Genesis 32:22-32
APPLICATION QUESTIONS
Read Matthew 5:3 and then read Revelation 3:17. Why might you, like the church at Laodicea, be tempted to think of yourself as spiritually rich in and of yourself instead of being “poor in spirit”?
Many people use the idea of “wrestling with God” in reference to prayer. While this episode in Genesis 32 points to an actual physical struggle, what principles from this passage should apply to your prayers before God?
Read Matthew 6:32-33. What might you be tempted to seek more than the blessing of God (particularly in anxiety-inducing situations)? What would it look like to seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness in those times instead?
Read 2 Corinthians 12:9-10. How has God shown His power to be perfect in your weaknesses? How have you learned to “kiss the wave that throws you against the rock of ages”?
Read Psalm 27:4-6. How does verse 4 logically lead to the next two verses? How should seeking God lead to confidence in the midst of trials?
