Mars Hill Fellowship

1)     What is the most exotic food that you have eaten? Where did you have it and how did it taste? 

2)     As you reflect back on last weekend’s sermon, what one principle or insight stands out as being particularly helpful, insightful or difficult to grasp?
 

3)     Some people describe God as a loving Father. Others describe Him as a vengeful God who tolerates nothing. How do you see God? Have you ever struggled with how to relate to God? Have you ever struggled with manufactured obedience? How do you deal with that struggle?

4)     How do you cope with fear in your life? What have you learned from others about coping with fear? How have your fears affected your life?

5)     What is the difference between a healthy and unhealthy fear of the Lord? How does our fear of the Lord become unhealthy?

6)     A healthy fear of the Lord balances grace with reverence and awe of the Lord. It is a dynamic tension that can be a struggle to fully understand. On a practical level, what can you do to embrace God’s grace while still reverencing His character and nature.

7)     “When we fear the Lord, we don’t have to fear bad news, because we know that God is in control. We trust God regardless of the consequences.” As you reflect over your life, what are areas of fear that you struggle with? Identify 2-3 areas that you would prayerfully like to grow in this year.  As you identify these areas, pray with one of your group members about trusting God with your fears.
