Synergy Discussion 3-26-25
Icebreaker: "If you could have any superpower for a day, what would it be and why?"
If you have a question you like better, feel free to ask it!
Groups Leaders: Today we will be looking at the main thoughts from the past 3 lessons and thinking about how to apply them to our everyday lives.
Lesson 1 – Daniel & His Friends in Exile
Main Thought: Bold believers praise God anywhere they go, look different from those around them, use their gifts to serve, and trust God with the results.
Group Leaders: Talk about choices you’ve had to make to look different from those around you. You could also talk about somebody else you’ve seen do this well.
Discuss: What does it mean to "look different" from those around you at this stage in your life?
Lesson 2 – Lukewarm Faith
Main Thought: We can resist compromising our faith by evaluating friendships, spending time with Jesus, and serving others.
Group Leaders: Talk about a time you felt you were slipping into lukewarm faith and what God used to bring you back.
Discuss: What are some signs that someone might be slipping into lukewarm faith? How can we help each other stay strong?
Lesson 3 – The Fiery Furnace
Main Thought: Bold faith allows us to keep standing with others because the God who rescues is with us.
Group Leaders: Talk about how friendships in your life have impacted your faith in good and bad times.
Discuss: How do your friendships influence your faith, for the good or the bad? How can we encourage your friends to stand boldly too?
