Discussion Questions - Week of Jan 27

1) This week Doug talked about the "NPS Score" that businesses use to determine their clientele's passion and loyalty. Doug then asked us to think about this question based on your own personal relationship with God. "Would you recommend God to a friend?"
Do you? Why?

2) Go back and read Gen 3:7-12:
At that moment, their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they strung fig leaves together around their hips to cover themselves. 8 Toward evening they heard the Lord God walking about in the garden, so they hid themselves among the trees. 9 The Lord God called to Adam, "Where are you?" 10 He replied, "I heard you, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked." 11 "Who told you that you were naked?" the Lord God asked. "Have you eaten the fruit I commanded you not to eat?" 12 "Yes," Adam admitted, "but it was the woman you gave me who brought me the fruit, and I ate it."
The consequences of sin are real. Can you see evidenced in this passage the consequences of broken connectedness to God, ourselves & each other? Have you seen similar consequences your own life as well?

3) Of the three areas that we discussed this weekend; connecting to God, connecting to who I am in Christ & connecting to others, which is the biggest challenge for you? Why do you think this is the case?

4) What steps do you need to take to be proactive in re-connecting in these areas?

5) We have spent the last 4 weeks looking at what it takes to have an E.P.I.C. Faith. The definition of Epic is, "Extending beyond the usual or ordinary especially in size or scope." The topics for each week were; Experiential, Participatory, Image-rich & Connected. As you look back over the series we have just completed what stands out in your mind the most? Would you describe your personal relationship with God as EPIC? What are some practical things that you can do in your life to continue moving in the direction of an EPIC Faith.

6) As a group in preparation for our new series that starts next week. Read Psalm 23.
