Missionary of the Week

Caitlyn Christie (Hernandez) on furlough from Ministry in Guatemala

Suggested Outline for Your Group: 

• Share “God Stories” 

• Share testimonies of where you have seen God working in your life lately. 

• Read Isaiah 57:15 out loud together 

• Invite one person to read the verses for the week 

• Go through the Discussion Questions: 

• Don’t feel like you need to get through them all 

• Use the ones that are the most helpful in stirring up meaningful conversation 

• Make sure you save enough time to pray together 

• Share prayer requests 

• Pray for one another 

• Thank God for the ways He’s answered the prayers of the group lately 

• Invite the Holy Spirit to speak through you as you wait on Him 

Discussion Questions: 

• When you hear the word “revival,” what thoughts or emotions come to mind—and how have those shaped your expectations of God today?

• Which part of prayer do you personally find most difficult: showing up consistently, surrendering control, trusting God’s will, or waiting on Him? Why?

• Isaiah 57:15 says God dwells with the “contrite and lowly.” What do you think that means in everyday terms, and how is that different from how we usually think about spiritual maturity?

• The sermon emphasized that prayer isn’t about bending God’s will to ours but offering our will to Him. How does that reshape the way you think about unanswered prayers?
