Ice Breaker, if Needed

Share Sunday School memories! If you didn’t attend Sunday School or kids/youth focused classes, groups, or camps, share how you are being educated in the “basics” of faith. What would you like to learn more about? This week’s questions focus on the “basics” of our faith!

1. What is your favorite story in the Bible? What is revealed about God’s heart within that story? How do the people in the story experience God? How might your connection with God mirror the people in the stories you are drawn to ponder or read? How do they contrast? 

2. What is the origin of sin? Who defines what sin is and isn’t? Read Isaiah 59:2. What is always the end result of sin? Read 1 John 1:5-10. What is repentance? Why can you trust you have been forgiven? 

3. What makes Jesus set apart from all other religious figures? Read Colossians 2:9; Phiippians 2:7; John 10:22-30. Who did Jesus say He is? Why did God come to earth in the form of a man? Read Mark 2:5-7 and John 14:13-14. What do these verses say about Jesus’ authority? Read John 14:6; 1 Timothy 3:16; and Romans 6:22-23. What do these verses say about Jesus’ mission? 

4. What is a Bible verse that sticks with you? What does that verse reveal about the Bible as a whole? What does it reveal about the Spirit as you receive that verse? Read 2 Timothy 3:16-17. What is the purpose of Scripture? 

5. What is prayer? What are your expectations when you pray? Describe your prayer life. What have you prayed about today? Read 1 John 5:14-15. What is the key phrase about how and what you pray? How do you know the will of God?
