Getting Started1. It’s 2021. What is one resolution you are
making for this year?
2. What were your resolutions for 2020? How did you do at
accomplishing them?
Digging Deeper1. Read Romans 8:28-29. This week, Pastor Jeremiah
talked about our inner lives. In your own words, what is a person’s
inner (invisible/private) life? How does it determine someone’s
outer (visible/seen) life?
2. What are some distractions that have challenged your ability
to live a God-focused, Holy-Spirit-empowered inner life?
3. We heard of two powerful distractions: frenzy and
familiarity. Which of these two pulls at you most?
4. Read 2 Peter 1:5-6. A powerful antidote against distractions
are spiritual disciplines. How would you describe a spiritual
discipline to someone? Name one discipline you have practiced.
5. Pastor Jeremiah spoke of two specific disciplines:
prayer/solitude (read Psalm 46:10 and Isaiah 26:3) and Bible study
(read 2 Corinthians 12:2 and 1 Thessalonians 2:13). Of these two,
which one feels like a needed discipline in your life right
now?
Bringing it Home 1. Read Hebrews 4:12. How might your life be
different in 2021 if you added a daily practice of prayer/solitude
and/or Bible Study to your lifestyle? What is holding you back from
making this inward life resolution?
2. As you think about making this decision, what would the first
step be? How could you take this first step today?
