Know

• K1 Call to mind a time when the words someone said to you either (a) encouraged you like crazy or (b) took the wind right out of your sails.

• G1 Take time to contemplate each part of “the gospel in 4 phrases”: “It is good” (Gen 1:27), “It is cursed” (Gen 3:17), “It is finished” (John 19:30) and “It is done” (Rev 21:6). How do these phrases help you grasp the fullness of the good news of Jesus?
• G2 Imagine the moment when God says “I am making everything new” (Rev 21:5). What do you think you will be feeling / experiencing at that moment? Take some time to speculate what that might be like?
• G3 God is the creator. As beings made in His image, we are mini-creators; how could this knowledge of the creative power you possess effect how you live your day to day life?
• G4 Consider the people who live in your corner of God’s universe: your neighbours (geographically close through circumstance) and your friends (emotionally close through choice). How is God calling you to speak recreation into their lives?
• G5 Consider Proverbs 26:20-22 and 20:19: why is gossip (a) so tempting and (b) so damaging? How could Genesis 1:3 and James 3:5-6 help us understand the role of the spoken word?
• G6 Dan said that words are like (a) bricks that build cities or (b) seeds that plant forests. With the words you currently speak, what kind of world are you creating?
