Living in the Silence


  1. How would you have reacted if you were Simeon and had weeks or potentially decades of faithfulness fulfilled by holding the Savior in your arms?

  2. Describe a time in your life when you thought that God was missing in action, refusing to answer, or unconcerned with your situation.

  3. In the message, Conor said, "when God asks us to wait, it is because there is something worth waiting for." Share how you have experienced this personally.

  4. Read Psalm 27:14. How can you keep in mind that God is trying to change your heart instead of your circumstances as you go about daily life?

  5. This week, what can you do to honor God while living in the silence?

What's Next?


Now that the election is over, what happens now? Why do we feel like we need an earthly leader? Can't we just follow God?
  1. What comes to mind when you think about what it means to "immerse yourself" in God's word? What life decisions would have been different for you if you'd been immersed in the word of God sooner?

  2. Read 1 Timothy 2:1-4. What's the hardest part about praying for your enemies or a candidate that you didn't support?

  3. Why is it easier to point out where others need to change instead of coming clean about where I need to change?

  4. How would our impact be different if we only expected from our leaders what we expected from ourselves?

  5. What will you do this week to put what you've discovered tonight into practice?
