Scripture & Discussion
Sermon Title: “Take Me Back”                                                        - Pastor Lindsey Seals, NOW Church, Ocala FL

Key Scriptures: John 7:38, Amos 9:11-15, Ezekiel 47:9, Isaiah 43:19

Brief Recap: God has strategically placed us here, not as a pond or a lake, but as a river. In a pond or lake, movement is limited. As a river, we are able to carve out new paths and flow fully in the move of the Holy Spirit. As a river, there is no limitation for what God can do!

Thoughts from today’s message:
  1. Praise - Acknowledging God for what He’s done, what He’s doing and what He will do
  2. Worship - Acknowledging God for who He is

Amos 9:11 - “And Israel will possess what is left of Edom and all the nations I have called to be mine.”
         “To Possess” - Hebrew word, Yaresh → to occupy by
          driving out the previous tenants, to seize, to expel,
          to consume, to destroy.

Discussion
You don’t need to hit every question—follow the room.
  1. What stood out to you from this week’s message? (this question is to help your group navigate what the Lord highlighted to them).
  2. We are a river! But sometimes we operate like a pond or a lake. Where have I limited what God wants to do through me?
  3. Where have I felt stuck in my life? What is God inviting me into? What does my step of faith look like?

Prayer Time
  • Prayer request if time allows. If not, you can close in prayer.
