QUESTIONS FOR THIS WEEK
(READ BEFORE YOU ARRIVE)

Be thinking of the people in your group, come up with a simple encouragement to share with each person. Now, go around the room and share :-)

Read Matthew 11:1-6.  What do you think John was feeling in these verses?  What was his gap?

Describe a time when you felt a similar gap between what you expected and what you experienced. Did your faith waiver, or did it get stronger?  What contributed either way?

Now, read Matthew 11:6-11.  What did we say was unexpected about Jesus affirmation of John? Why do you think Jesus did this?

What was significant about Jesus message back to John in Matt 11:4-5?

What was the first thing we said God is whispering behind your back? Do you really believe that? How might your life change if you embraced that statement?

What was the second encouraging message you’ve never heard?  Why do most people struggle to believe that?

Finally, we said the most important thing God is saying behind your back is, “It’s less about you than you think it is!” Why is this the key to understanding everything else we have talked about?

What action will you take based on this message and study?
