Life Group Questions – Elisha sees life through God’s eyes.

“I would have to see IT to believe IT.” What would “IT” be for you?
What is the most amazing thing you ever witnessed? How was God part of that thing?
In the Elisha story Paul talked about in 2 Kings 6, which of these was harder to believe? The vision his servant was able to see? The army being blinded, then unblinded? Or the willingness of the Israelites to love the enemies with a banquet? Why?
Read 2 Kings 5:1-16; Who and when are the different characters living from faith, and from God’s point of view? Who and when are they not?
What is something that your faith in God has helped you with in life?
What is something that you struggle with in life that a better heavenly, eternal, faith in God perspective would help? What are you doing to help gain that perspective?

Life Group Questions – The Unwavering Mentor Elijah

What things or people come to mind when you hear the word “Unwavering?” What are the attributes?
Read 1 Kings 18:20-21. If someone knows the Mt Carmel story, give a quick overview. If not, Read/skim verses 22-38. Share thoughts. Now read 18:40. Are the people “unwavering” now? Why do you think? How does someone become unwavering in their faith?
Read 1 Kings 19:1-9. Is Elijah un/wavering? How does God meet us in moments like this?
Tell about someone who has mentored you in some way? Why did you trust them? Who are the faith mentors you are trusting right now?
Who are you mentoring? What does that look like?
Read 2 Kings 2:1-14. What’s going on in Elisha’s heart through this part of the story? The “double portion” is simply saying, I want to carry on God’s work. What are some memories of God’s work that you want to carry on for the Kingdom?

Life Group Questions – Judah begins to trust and obey

What is something that you helped to fix, or to make better than it was?
Tell about a person who you helped with something that was broken or hurting in their lives.
Read or skim Genesis 37:12-28. In what ways are Judah and his brothers looking out for themselves? What pain did it cause both to others and to themselves? (The Tamar story from the podcast is between these two stories)
Read or skim Genesis 44:10-20; 30-34. What changes do we see in Judah? How does this change affect the story and the people in the story?
Who has something in their life that is not where God would want it to be? How is it hurting you? Others? What step(s) can be taken towards God’s path?
