DON'T WASTE YOUR WORSHIP
Small Group Discussion Questions Based on John 12:2-3
Question 1
Luke 10:41-42 ""Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed — or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.""
Discussion Question: In your daily life, where do you find yourself more like Martha — busy, well-intentioned, but distracted from simply being present with God? What would it look like for you to "open your heart" the way Mary did, not just your schedule?
Question 2
John 12:3 "Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume."
Discussion Question: Mary's worship was called "wasteful" by those watching, yet Jesus defended and honored it. Have you ever held back in your worship — of God, in generosity, in surrender — because of what others might think? What would "nothing held back" worship look like in your own life right now?
Question 3
Psalm 77:11-12 "I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds." Discussion Question: Remembrance is described as a powerful spiritual discipline. What is one specific thing God has done in your life that, when you recall it, stirs gratitude and draws you back to Him? How intentional are you about keeping that memory alive?
Question 4
Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
Discussion Question: Conviction is described not as a warning, but as a mirror — a moment of honest self-reckoning. Is there an area of your life right now where you sense God calling you down the narrower road, but the pull of comfort, belonging, or approval is making it difficult to follow through? What is that costing you?
Question 5
John 12:3b "And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume." Discussion Question: True worship is never private in its effects — "real worship leaks." Thinking honestly about your patterns rather than your intentions: in what ways does your faith and worship change the rooms, relationships, and communities you are part of? Where might God be inviting you to have more "collateral impact"?
WHAT IS A LIFE GROUP?
What is a Life Group? Life Groups are a gathering of up to 12 individuals committed to meeting on a weekly basis. We desire to do LIFE with people in these small group settings.
Why take part in Life Groups? The truth is that real growth and connections happen in circles more than rows. Therefore, Life Groups meet the immediate spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of those isolated by crisis through prayer and personal connection within the church body.
Where do Life Groups meet? Life Groups mostly meet in the homes of Freedom Life members who live in the surrounding region. Life Group leaders sincerely care for each of the people they lead. Each leader has a passion to help you become everything Jesus created you to be.
When do Life Groups meet? Groups meet on various days of the week. Most Life Group meetings are between 60-90 minutes each week. They are semester-based groups lasting between 2-3 months each semester with a short time off in between semesters.
How do I join a Life Group? Life Groups are not just for attendees of Freedom Life but whomever wants to get connected to a group can sign up at the Connection Wall at any one of our Sunday Worship Experiences.
Our desire is to create a culture where people from all walks of life can DISCOVER God’s word together in a safe, small group setting and DEVELOP as believers following Jesus.
