2) Accountability: Be intentional in telling "God Stories" - share testimonies of where you have seen God working.
3) Opening Discussion Question: What does “drifting” look like in your own spiritual life?
In what areas do you most often find yourself losing focus or passion?
Are there times when the “freedom” of certain seasons (like summer) has led to spiritual apathy?
4) Read: Micah 1:10 - 2:13 encourage your group to open their Bibles and follow along while one or two people read the passage out loud.
5) Discussion:
Why do you think spiritual drift is so easy and often goes unnoticed?
How does the concept of everything drifting toward disorder (like The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics) help us to understand the reality of spiritual life?
What habits or disciplines tend to be the first to go when you’re spiritually drifting?
What are the signs of covetousness in our lives today?
How does coveting reveal a lack of trust in God’s goodness?
How can we practice contentment and gratitude more intentionally?
Have you ever resisted or ignored a hard truth from God’s Word?
Why is it so tempting to only listen to the parts of the Bible we like?
How can we learn to love and receive the “whole counsel of God” as an anchor for our souls?
6) Apply: ***As we go through Micah let’s continually practice asking God to stir up the gift of prophecy among us. Leave time to pray for one another and welcome the Spirit to speak to you and through you to others. Let’s be eager to hear and earnestly desire the gifts that come from God’s Spirit (1Corinthians 14:1)
Ask God if there is an area of your life where you are stuck, burdened, or far from Him?
