Sunday Rewind | 7.14.2013

Sunday Rewind

MUSIC & SCRIPTURE

Be Lifted High (John 3:30) – Nothing is Wasted by Elevation Worship

Majesty (Isaiah 53:5) – Majesty: The Worship EP by Leeland

Lord of All (Psalm 97:5-6) – Louder Than Creation by Kristian Stanfill (North Point)

With Us (Psalm 46:10-11a) – God Is Able by Hillsong

Unending Love (Romans 8:38-39) – God Is Able by Hillsong

 

TEACHING: Ruth: A Story of God’s Redemptive Love, Part 3

How does God accomplish His great purposes without negating our choices as free moral agents? As we continue our series, Pastor Mike looks at how the providential goodness of God is seen in the life of Ruth and in the arrival of Christ.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. If you were to give a one-sentence synopsis of this message, what would it be?
  2. What is “providence”? What theological or practical tensions are there when considering the providence & sovereignty of God?
  3. Do you have any stories, situations or scenarios from your own life that can only be explained by the providence of God?
  4. Read and discuss Ruth 2:1-13. Where do you see the providence of God at work? What does this tell us about the nature of man? What do we see about the nature of God?
  5. How does personal character & integrity play out in to the story of Ruth & Boaz in the verses above?
  6. How are we “resident aliens” like Ruth? What impact should this have on our daily life?
  7. How does the Gospel give purpose to even the most mundane aspects of our lives? Can you think of someone with whom you could pray to “find favor” with for the sake of the Gospel?
  8. Is there an area or situation in your life where you are “playing chess with God”? What would it look like for you to surrender, trust and obey Him instead? Spend some time in prayer about this with your group.

    Thanks for posting these each week. We’re putting together a playlist of “RBC songs” for family listening in order to better participate on Sunday mornings–it’s especially helpful for our six year old. Thanks!
