Stop Trying to Control God | Revival Featuring Jon Tyson
God can’t be controlled. Yet, we think the more we do the good “church things”, God will respond with giving us all the cool stuff we want. Not so. In a special message under the tent at Base Camp, guest speaker Jon Tyson shows us how real freedom (and maybe even some of that stuff we want) can only be found in God—in true surrender.
Process, journal or discuss the themes of this article - here's a few questions to get the ball rolling...
Welcome to the Weekend-Follow Up! This is content that reflects on the Weekend message and how it can apply to your life. Each week, your group will discover what God might be saying to you, and how you can respond through a group discussion.
What is the furthest place you’ve ever traveled, and why?
If you went to Revival, what stood out to you most? If you didn’t go, what’s one way you connected with God this past week?
Why do you think that stood out to you? What do you think God might be trying to say? (It’s ok if you’re just guessing. This will give you some space to process what it might be.)
What did your experience tell you about God?
What did your experience tell you about yourself and/or others?
What is one way you can respond to what God might be saying to you this week?
Now share a prayer request for the week. Whoever loves taking notes can jot them down (and maybe put them in a group chat, if you have one). Make sure to go around the circle and pray for each other at the end of your meeting, and throughout the week.
