Peace Over Problems

The weekend doesn't have to end. Keep Talking on your own or with a group.

Start Talking - Find conversation starters for the group or with a friend.

• Have you ever shown up to something wearing the wrong thing? How did that affect your experience?
• What is your natural response when you sense a problem arising? Do you try to solve it immediately or do you try to avoid the problem as long as possible?

Keep Reading – Read the Scripture and ask a question to get the group thinking.

Read these Scriptures out loud:

John 16:33

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

• How can knowing that Jesus has overcome the world give us peace as we face challenges in our own lives?
• What does this verse say about the source of our peace? What happens when we look to the wrong sources for peace?

Proverbs 4:23

Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.

• What is an example of how your thoughts have influenced a decision or action?
• How can having incorrect thoughts about ourselves or God negatively shape our lives?

Keep Talking – Choose questions to create openness.

1. Prepare For a Fight

• How can we prepare for the attacks the enemy will bring against us BEFORE they arrive?

2. Be Aware of the Enemy’s Weapons

• Pastor Julie shared how a rat that was in front of her kept her from seeing the amazing things that were around her. How can we be quicker to notice the “rats” the enemy uses to distract us from what God has for us?
• What do you notice about the weapons the enemy uses? Does he try to use the same things against you over and over? Do attacks seem to happen in the same kinds of places, or same times of the day or year?

3. Declare Peace Over Your Problem

• Why is it important for us to be reminded of who God is, and who He created us to be?
• How can declarations from God’s Word give us peace when we face problems in our lives?

Keep Moving/Going – Commit to a step and live it out this week.

• What declaration from God’s Word are you going to make this week?
• Pick one of this week’s key Scriptures and make it a reminder in your phone. Spend a few minutes repeating it and thinking about it each day.
• S.O.A.P out the Scripture this week.
