God-sized goals require God-sized gratitude.
Nehemiah 8, 9:5-31, 10:28-39, 12:27, 13:19-21; I Thessalonians 5:18
- Let’s celebrate! What have you achieved recently?
- Tell us about something you’ve achieved that wouldn’t have been possible without the help of other people.
- Beyond our words, what are some creative ways we say “thank you” to each other?
- What’s one way Nehemiah expressed gratitude that you think we can all learn from?
- When is it most difficult for you to be grateful? What are some things we can be grateful for even when things don’t turn out the way we we’d hoped?
- Read I Thessalonians 5:18. Do you think ungrateful people can become grateful people? If so, how?
- What do you need to thank God for today? What do you need to thank someone else for today?
- What’s one way you can show God gratitude through your actions (and not just your words) this week?
- How often do you think you fail to notice, or give credit for, something God has done? How can we learn to do this more often?
- What’s one “God-sized” goal you’re still working on? How can our group help you with that goal moving forward?
