Search Me: Pt 3
Sermon Discussion Questions
March 12 & 13, 2022

INTRODUCE: Share about a time when you were trying to make a “fast get-away.”

READ: Psalm 139:1-12, I Samuel 21:10, Romans 8:37-39

WATCH: Video

PRAYER: Begin the time by praying together

DISCUSS:

1. Where have you gone to attempt to get away from God?

2. Discuss the difference between knowing who God is and experiencing who God is.

3. Share about a time in your life when you definitely sensed God’s presence. Was it a hilltop experience or time when you were walking through a valley?

4. Who has “thrown a spear” at you? Did you feel it was justified? How did you react to it?

5. Since God is omnipresent, what prevents us from seeing Him?

6. Read Romans 8:37-39. Other than a physical location, what can make us feel separated from the love of God?

7. Share about a time when you experienced Spiritual Reticular Activation in the heights (happy/hopeful times), depths (difficult times), distance (from feeling a closeness with God), or darkness (times of depression or failure).

PRAY:
Lord, thank you for your presence “even there.” Please help me to sense it and find rest because of it. I am so grateful that as I ask You to search me, You have already found me.

IN SMALLER GROUPS OF 2-3 SHARE AND PRAY:
Share one need for which you would like prayer today.
Take time to pray for one person at a time
Invite the Holy Spirit to guide your time
Listen to the Lord for guidance in how to pray for one another….and then pray
