Activation Time
Activation #1: Make space for God to move in you.
How many of us practice solitude and silence? Sometimes, the only reason we don't hear God is because we don't create space to listen. Turn on some worship music, sit with God, and say as Samuel did in 1 Samuel 3:10, "Speak, Lord, your servant is listening."
Activation #2: Make space for God to move through you.
Grab a piece of paper and something to write with and ask, "God,what are you saying about the person to my right?" Write down everything you hear in that moment and then step out to share. This is a training ground!
Activation #3: A Group Discipleship Challenge
Grow in spiritual disciplines together! Take the week to commit to doing that together. Do we all need to grow in reading the Word or prayer or another spiritual discipline? Maybe you want to fast all together for the first time? This is an opportunity to raise your SQ together!
