Foundations of the Faith Week 1 - Small Group Notes
Main Idea
We need to find our identity in our Creator to have a strong foundation of faith.
Starter
What is a nickname you had as a kid? How did you feel about it?
Discuss
How can we pray for you and/or your family?
Spend some time praying together before you start your Scripture discussion.
Scripture
Read Genesis 1 and discuss:
- What is the most striking thing to you about the description of creation in Genesis 1?
- What does this passage tell you about your identity? Why do you think that is significant?
- In your own words, what does it mean to be created in the image of God?
- What other places have you looked to find your identity or value other than God?
Assign each of the following verses to different people in your group to read out loud together. Have everyone listen for a truth about their identity that is most significant to them in this season of their life.
- Isaiah 43:1, Psalm 139:13-14, Deuteronomy 7:6, Romans 5:7-9, Ephesians 2:8-10, Galatians 5:1
- Which of these verses is most significant to you in this season of your life? Why?
Apply
Before you close your group, break up into groups of 2-3 to share and pray together about the following questions.
- How do you need to embrace the truth of what God says about you?
- What is a lie about yourself you need to let go of to believe what God says?
Spend time praying together as the Holy Spirit leads to build your lives on the truth of God’s Word and what He says about you.
