Our September session focussed on drawing closer to God through gaining a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit.
This video was our starting point:
The video explained what the Holy Spirit is and suggested that to have more of it in our lives we should:
- Ask for it
- Not quench it
- Walk in it
- Be obedient to it
“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise”
Ephesians 5:15
As a church family we spent the evening sharing testimony from our own personal interactions with the Holy Spirit. Here are some of the questions we discussed:
Why do you think having the Holy Spirit being active in our lives is such an important part of our walk with Christ?
Which parts of your lives do you accept that you need more of the Holy Spirit?
How open do you think you are for the spirit to move in your life?
How are you supressing the spirit? – are there things that you could do less of, to make more time for God?
Have you got any tips for spending more time with God, despite leading busy lives?
Share some tips on reading the bible & praying (especially giving thanks through prayer)
Can you think of a time when the Holy Spirit “tugged on your heart” to meet a particular need?
When have you had a conversation with someone and the Holy Spirit gave you the words to speak?
