This is What I Was Made For! Week 3: Discover Purpose DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
RECAP In the third week of this series, we continued the idea that helping people get to the point where they can say about their life, “This is what I was made for!” happens not only when we know God and find freedom, but when we discover purpose, and how we can do that through the Next Steps Track.
MTVGROUP QUESTIONS 1. Are you a puzzle person? What’s the biggest puzzle that you ever tried to conquer? Did you finish it? How is putting a puzzle together similar to trying to discover your unique purpose in life? 2. Read Jeremiah 29:11 and Ephesians 2:10 as a group. Do think we each have a unique purpose in this world? If so, why don’t more people (especially Christians) discover their purpose? 3. This week’s message was all about discovering purpose. If you’re at the point where you can say you know what your unique purpose is in life, how did you discover it? Share your story with the rest of the group. 4. Josh shared seven steps to discovering your purpose. Talk through each step as a group. Have you done each step? If so, what have you learned along the way? How has each step helped you? • Know God’s purpose. (Romans 8:28) • Redeem your past. (Acts 17:26-27) • Identify your personality. (Psalm 139:13-14) • Discover your spiritual gifts. (Romans 12:5-6) • Look at the opportunities around you. (John 4:35) • Seek wise counsel. (Proverbs 19:20, 13:10) • Pray like crazy. (James 1:5)
NEXT STEPS As a group, spend time walking through step six (seek wise counsel). As a group, speak into each other’s lives and spend a few powerful moments speaking the purpose you see into the lives of those in your group. Finish out with prayer (step seven)!
