Worship

Listen to a Worship song (If you need suggestions you can use one from the YouTube Playlist for this week) or express something that you are thankful to God for.

Welcome

1. Check In – How is your time in God’s Word going?
2. When we organize our lives in a “balanced” way what are some of the possible outcomes (good and bad)?
3. Do you a period in your life when you were living in an unbalanced way?

Word

• Read: 2 Corinthians 11:23-28
• How does the apostle Paul’s life serve as an example of shattering the boundaries of balance and entering a life beyond balance?
• How can in be dangerous to live completely unbalanced?
• How does compartmentalizing our lives sometime limit God’s work in our lives?
• How do you think Jesus would do the following? (There is a fuller exercise: Living in Jesus' Name on the Callander Bay Church webpage.
  • Wake up
  • Greet those he would see first thing in the morning
  • Eat
  • Drive
  • Work
  • Shop
  • Use the internet
  • Watch TV
  • Go to bed
• What is one area that needs work in your life?

Prayer

1. Pray for each member in the specific area of life where they expressed a desire to be like Jesus.  Pray for their attitudes and actions to reflect the heart of Jesus more and more with each passing day.
2. Pray for any other concerns that your group has.
