These questions are connected to the message, Hagar from Sunday, Sept. 3, 2023. You can watch it here.
- What identity have you chosen for yourself? What words would you choose to define and describe who you are? As you reflect on those descriptors, where do they come from?
- When have you felt trapped or crippled by the labels you have put upon yourself or the labels that others have assigned to you?
- Sarai waited on God for a child. Where have you been waiting on God? What are you learning in the waiting?
- Have you ever been in a desperate situation, where you felt worthless, less than, or inconsequential? What was that experience like? How did you find your way out (if you have)? If you’re still in the middle of a hopeless situation, what needs to happen in your life in order to find healing?
- When (if ever) have you felt seen by God? Share or journal about your experience.
- Robyn said, “Hope is found in being seen.” What does that mean to you? Do you find yourself wanting to be seen or is being seen terrifying to you? What would it mean for you to be pursued by God and seen by God?
