- As a group — discuss how the sin of independence or self-dependence shows up in your life? How are you guilty of living your life independently from God?
- As a group — spend time confessing the sin of self-dependence together. Then — spend time rejoicing in the gospel that continually forgives independent and self-dependent sinners who have been made saints.
- Who are the people that you regularly give thanks to God for because of their genuine faith and Christ-like love? How does their faith encourage yours?
- Read Colossians 1:3-6 out loud. How has the gospel born fruit in your life since you started following Jesus (this is a time to boast in gospel power that has and is transforming you)?
- How could you grow in being more dependent on the gospel? What fruit might the gospel produce in you as you learn to delight, pray, look to, and submit to the gospel?
- How can we, as a group, encourage one another to do the 30 Days of Dependence prayer guide? How can we use this prayer guide without it becoming another duty or obligation? What might we add to this prayer guide that might specifically encourage our Home Group?
