Main Idea:  The One who holds you molds you.

Introduction: In this first weekend of 2022, Pastor Chris cast vision for our growth—individually and as a body of believers. Our theme for this year is TRANSFORMATION.

Discussion Starter: Before we jump into 2022, take a look back at 2021. Our theme was FAVOR. Where did you see God’s favor in your life in 2021?

Grow

Primary Scriptures:  Psalm 100, Romans 12:1-2, 2 Corinthians 3:18
Discussion Questions:

1. Read Psalm 100. Spend some time as a group praising God for the work He did in your lives in 2021 and the work He will do in 2022.
2. We love people at Faith Promise. One of the best ways to experience that love is to be in a group. So what was your favorite aspect of group last year? What should we do again? How can we love each other better?
3. Read Romans 12:1-2 and 2 Corinthians 3:18. These will be our theme verses for 2022. What excites you most about transformation? Putting off the old? Or the new exciting things to come? Choose one of these as a memory verse to learn as a group this month.

Protect

Suggestion: Consider breaking the group into twos or threes for this section.

Commit to pray for each other’s growth in 2022. If you have a growth plan or a word of the year, share it with at least one other person in the group. If you don’t have a growth plan or a word, work on that this week and share your plan next week. You can find a template for a personal growth plan on page 141 of your Transformation Devotional book (available free at every campus this weekend). You can get a digital copy of the devotional and find the first two days for free here: https://faithpromise.org/book/.

There will be a prayer gathering at each campus January 8 at 9:oo AM.
