Important Info:
A List of Men Who Haven't Signed Up - Here is a list broken down by Life Group of the men who haven't signed up. I figured it was better to send it to you rather than post it on the front of Pathways on Sunday morning. I'm sure several men can't go for various reasons, and you already know who they are, but perhaps this is helpful to know as you reach out this weekend. I pray that you can get your whole group of guys to go up the mountain! It will be a set-apart time that deepens the bonds within each Life Group.
The Women's Summer Series Starts Soon! - Registration is open for the first event on June 12th; please share with the women in your Life Group. Carlynn Fabarez, a special guest teacher from the sending church, will be joining us for this first event. A light breakfast will be provided.
Ignite Registration is live! - Keegan will be giving some details this Sunday. Be sure to let your families know that there is an early bird price that they won't want to miss. Also, the registration is two steps, like the Men's Retreat, so please help anyone who is lost get through that process.
Application Questions:
Fruitful in a Famine
The Problem of Fruitlessness
A message from John 15:1-8
1. Read John 15:8. God’s goal for us is to live a fruitful life that glorifies him. What are some other goals in your life that you need to be careful do not compete with this main goal? Why is this goal of a fruitful, God-glorifying life more rewarding than any other goal?
2. Read James 1:2-4. What prevents you from thinking this way about trials in your own life? How can you adjust your thinking to embrace the inevitable trials that will come into your life this week?
3. Read 2 Corinthians 12:9-10. How have you seen these realities prove true in your own life? How do these truths encourage you to have an attitude of dependence upon God this week?
4. Do your habits of Bible intake and prayer reflect a heart that is truly dependent on God? What other actions can you take this week to cultivate a dependence upon the Vine?
5. Read John 15:7. Do you see a connection between the words of Scripture and your prayer life? How can you integrate God’s Word more into your prayer life and let his words guide your words of prayer?
