God Only Knows | The Way - Rest | Sandbanks TMH
Channel: The Meeting House Sandbanks
Date: 2022-11-14

This week we continued our teaching series on discipleship, which can also be referred to as The Way. Steve Kerr leads us through a lesson and exercise that helps us see that we need rest and are made for it.  Why not take a listen to this sermon outlining how God has been inviting us to rest since the beginning of creation and then let us know what you think by commenting below or sending us an email steve.kerr@themeetinghouse.com

We believe that following Jesus is something we have to do together. After listening to this teaching why not share it with a few friends and then follow up with a discussion.  If you need somewhere to start you can use the following questions:

Warm Up 
- Share one of your favourite vacation experiences with the Group?
- What do you do to rest daily, weekly, monthly, and annually? 

Digging Deeper
- Is there a difference between rest for those that don't follow Jesus and those that do?  How would you describe the difference?
- Steve mentioned that sometimes it is challenging to rest because it can be hard to trust God when we look at the world.  Have you found this to be the case?  If not what do you find makes it difficult to rest?
- Share one thing that helps you to rest, or one space that you find truly restful.

Read
Genesis 2:1-3, Psalm 127:1-2, Mathew 11:28-30, Hebrews 4: 1-13
Read these passages together in order then answer the following questions. 
- What do you notice about these passages?
- How have you been able to connect to these passages and the rest they talk about and offer?  
- What would you say to someone who finds it hard to rest?
-Is there a way for us as a home church, or broader Sandbanks community to be better at resting or teaching on rest?

Huddle
In Groups of 2-3, share together something encouraging about the people in your group. You don't have to know someone deeply. If you are new to the group consider their actions today.
