Have everyone share one highlight and challenge from this past week.
The first step to finishing God's work is developing a heart that listens and responds.
What's one small step you've taken recently towards something new or challenging in your life?
Nehemiah 1:1-11, 2:1-8
What unfinished work is God putting on your heart right now, and what might be the very first step you could take in response?
What does it mean to "listen" to God in your daily life? Can you share an example of how God has spoken to you recently?
What are some practical ways we can move from simply hearing or knowing about God's call to actually taking those first steps of action?
How can we, as individuals and as a Life Group, cultivate a heart that is more attuned to what God is speaking to us about, especially when it comes to the needs around us?
Think about a time you felt a "burden" for something, similar to Nehemiah's burden for Jerusalem. How did you respond, and what was the outcome?
After our conversation, what is the first step you need to take this week to pursue what God is challenging you to do? Share those with each other and write them down so you can follow up on them next week. End your time by praying for the courage and desire to take those steps.
