Praise Tabernacle - KE Group Questions

KE Group Questions
Week of June 15, 2025

Summary
The sermon focuses on the importance of fathers and their legacy, using Acts 22 as a foundation. It contrasts the legacies of two men - Jonathan Edwards and Max Jukes - to demonstrate how one person's life choices can impact generations. The message emphasizes that every life tells a story and has an impact, whether positive or negative, and encourages believers to live intentionally for Christ despite past failures.

Ice Breaker
Who is someone in your life (besides your parents) who has had a significant positive impact on you, and what did they do that made such a difference?

Key Verses
Acts 22:1
Romans 5:19
2 Corinthians 3:18
Romans 12:2

Questions
What struck you most about the contrast between Jonathan Edwards' and Max Jukes' legacies?
How does your past story help demonstrate God's power to transform lives?
What prevents people from sharing their testimony with others, especially their children?
How has your encounter with Jesus changed the direction of your life?
What does it mean to receive a 'father's blessing' and why is it important?
In what ways might you be stalling in following God's direction for your life?
How can we ensure we're leaving a positive legacy for future generations?
What practical steps can you take this week to better reflect Christ to those watching your life?

Life Application
This week, write down your testimony of how God has transformed your life. Share it with at least one person, whether a family member or friend, focusing on God's power to change lives. Consider also writing a blessing for each of your children or those you mentor spiritually.

Key Takeaways
Every life tells a story and leaves a legacy - we choose what kind it will be
Our past doesn't disqualify us; it actually helps define our mission
A genuine encounter with Jesus transforms our direction and purpose
We need both to receive and give spiritual blessings to impact future generations

Importance of KE Groups

Growing spiritually takes a daily personal walk with God and a gathering together in fellowship with other believers.

Our corporate gathering is for equipping the saints, but meeting in small groups allows regular individual
participation so that personal needs can be addressed.

Small groups also foster growth in ministering the gifts of the Holy Spirit, accountability, and the support
necessary to be a healthy member of the family of God.

The leadership of Praise Tabernacle has encouraged group leaders to be missional and evangelistic
in their approach to leading these groups.

The ultimate goal is Kingdom Expansion.
