Have everyone share one highlight and challenge from this past week.
From last week’s conversation, did you take your first step in doing what God is challenging you to do?
Spiritual progress always faces resistance, but faith pushes through.
Think of a time you faced an unexpected challenge. How did you respond, and what did you learn from it?
Nehemiah 4:1-14
Can you share a personal example where your faith helped you push through a challenging situation or overcome an obstacle?
What role does courage play in pushing through opposition, and how can we cultivate more courage in our daily lives?
How does knowing that "spiritual progress always faces resistance" change your perspective when you encounter difficulties in pursuing God's call?
What challenges can we as a church anticipate as we continue to grow? How can the people in this group help our church overcome those obstacles?
What specific obstacles or challenges are you personally encountering in your faith journey or in your involvement with God's work, and how can you actively choose to trust God in those moments?
After our conversation, how is God asking you this week to face the obstacles against the church and against you personally? Write these down so you can follow up next week. End your time praying for faith amidst the obstacles and challenges.
