Introduction:

1. Share a Rose (highlight), Thorn (lowlight), and a Bud (something that has potential) from the Christmas holiday.
2. Are you a New Year’s resolution kind of person? Why or why not?
3. What dreams have you had that have been fulfilled? What dreams do you have that have yet to be fulfilled? What dreams did you have, that God changed?

Discussion:

1. Re-read Eph 3:14-21
   1. In what ways have you experienced the depths of God’s love in your life? Try to avoid using Christian language.
   2. What area(s) in your life do you struggle to know/feel/experience God’s love?
2. Do you dream? If so, what about?
3. Eph 3 tells us to imagine what God would do through us as a church. Pastor Tim talked about 5 different dreams he has for Living Hope. What things are you dreaming about for Living Hope?
   1. Take a few minutes to do some listening prayer.
   2. Pull out a piece of Paper/white board/or notebook and brainstorm all the different dreams you have for Living Hope (be sure to email this to Pastor Tim – tim@mylivinghope.ca ).
4. What’s one way you might lean into the work of God in and through your life this year?

Prayer:

End by collectively asking God to do a great work among us. Pray as God leads you with bold and unashamed prayers.
