Flourish: A Framework for Formation - Week Three Group Discussion

Mission: What story do you believe to be true?

Universal and Unique
Genesis 1:27-28

Open in Prayer

Take some time to ask God to quiet your hearts and make you aware of his presence in your life and in the group today. Remember: We are not just gathering as a small group, but we are gathering and the Lord is in the meeting with us.

Pray that everyone would feel welcomed and willing to join in the discussion.

Read Genesis 1:28

And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

How has the mission of God been distorted? Are there any stories or passages from scripture that come to mind?

How are Genesis 1:28 and Matthew 28:18-20 connected to each other? What does this mean for our mission?

What is the unique mission that God has uniquely gifted you and your community to live out?

Close in Prayer

Pray and ask  God to show you specific ways on how you can partner with Him on the mission to make all things new.
