Genesis 32:9-21
from ARCC Sermons Hosted by Michael McCracken
DNA Questions (Genesis 32:9-21) Discover: -What does it mean for Jacob that He identifies with God as the God "of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac"? -Why is it important that Jacob quotes God in his prayer to God? -What other factors of Jacob's prayer point to Jacob being honest with himself and God? -Considering verses 13-21: Is Jacob making plans in light of his prayer or despite his prayer and how would you know? Nurture: -What does your prayer life say about your relationship to God?...what you believe about God and what you perceive to believe about yourself? -Could you describe how your heart is feeling in the moment and what it desires most? Why is it important for you to know this? Why is that so often difficult to pinpoint? -What scripture speaks most to your true heart's desire and concern in the moment? How does the gospel speak into it? What promises can you claim? (Help each other around the table with this.) Act: Believing that God will never leave you nor forsake you, how can your plans look different this week? Believing that God is a loving Father who sent His son to have you, how can that change the way you pray this week? What gospel conversations are waiting for you at work?...at play?...in your neighborhood?...with your kids?
