Hillside Church and Pastor Doug Manson
 
Missionary of the Week
Hector & Caitlyn Hernandez in Guatemala
 
2) Accountability: Invite your group to share their successes and failures from reflecting on your own resurrection story, and if you shared it last week.
 
3) Opening Discussion Question: What is one thing you learned from your Mom that still sticks with you to this day?
 
4) Read: Acts 1:12-14 Encourage your group to open their Bibles and follow along while one or two people read the passage out loud.
 
5) Discussion:

What stuck out to you from the message this week?

• Is there anything in Mary’s Story that you can relate to in your walk with God?

• Mary treasured these things up in her heart - what can you treasure up in your heart about the work and words of Jesus?

• Look at the example of Mary watching her Son go to the cross. How is God present in the hard parts of her life?

6) Apply: Take the things you don’t understand to the Lord and treasure up the ways He has met you in the past. Give Him praise in the good things and give him your heart in hard things.
