Leaders Guide Week of April 10, 2016

Moses: Recovery
OKhere we go. This one should be pretty relevant! A couple of key
guidelines for your group this week.
1. Listen well.
2. Dont try to fix anyone; dont let anyone else try to fix anyone.
If needed you can access the Looking Back Bible Study Guide below. You
should find it quite adequate for group use. Making copies may be a wise
thing to do.
Note that the second quote below is the lines that opened and closed the
message. They are worth keeping before the group.
The three Working it Out questions could help people tell some of their
story, which should be the goal of this meeting. Ask these questions
conversationally, softly allowing different people to weigh in. You can often
draw people out by simply saying, Anything else. Dont forget to include
your own personal reflections.
I would appreciate receiving any stories from group members about their
own Ultimate Journey moments during this series.
Thanks for your servant leadership!

Exodus 4:31-7:6
Whatever you want to call it, we need it. Recovery, renewal, maturity,
growth, healing doesnt matter. In order to be used by God richly, it is
essential. Brokenness abounds. God has ways of bringing beauty out of
brokennessif we let Him.
Thinking It Through (agree/disagree consider/contemplate)
Life is to most of us a continuous process of getting used to things we
hadnt expected.
~ Unknown
What we live with, we learn, what we learn, we practice, what we practice,
we become, and what we become has consequences.
~ Ernie Lawson
Understanding a behavior does not make it acceptable.
~ Sandra Wilson
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
~ Paul the apostle- Philippians 4:13
Working It Out
1. After absorbing the message, if you were asked, so what? what would
you say and why?
2. In what ways were your expectations and assumptions about life and
spiritual growth challenged by Moses experiences?
3. How would you identify your need for recovery at this time of your life?
