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

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:
1. Influence and Integrity
Mother Teresa was influential not because of her power or position, but because she embodied her message. Who are the people in your life who have influenced you most deeply, and what made their influence so powerful?
2. Faithfulness in a Faithless World
Micah lived in a time of corruption and betrayal, yet he chose to keep looking to the Lord. What are some of the “faithless” patterns you see in our culture today? How can we resist the temptation to “play the game” and instead remain faithful to God’s ways?
3. Have You Experienced Division
Micah laments a corruption that is so deep it causes relational divides between neighbors and even the closest family members. Jesus quotes this passage and uses it to teach us that we will experience that same division when we follow Him. Have you experienced this?
4. Hope in the Midst of Discouragement
Micah declared, “When I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me.” What practices or truths help you find hope when you feel invisible, discouraged, or tempted to give up?
5. Building for God’s Glory
The builders of Erfurt Cathedral worked their whole lives on something they never fully saw completed. In what areas of your life do you feel like you’re “laying stones” without seeing results? How does the perspective of building for God’s glory (not our own) encourage you?
