Holy Formed - NOVEMBER 1st
Fighting With Family, Shalom, & Living in Exile
Reflection Questions:
1. In what ways do you struggle to seek peace with those nearest you?
2. What is one way to seek shalom in your home, work, or small sphere of daily experience?
3. How do you see your small sphere and ordinary days as part of the broader mission and work of God’s redemption?
4. In what ways have you experienced speaking good news to each other and becoming good news to each other in your relationships with those at EMMAUS or other churches?
5. How do you feel that Christian friendship and community differ from other kinds of community?
Suggested Practice:
1. Pray about how to be part of God’s broader redemption of the world in your own life.
2. Spend time praying for peace in your home, neighborhood, city, state, country, and world.
3. Read and reflect on Jeremiah 29:4-14. Actively participating in your city. Support a local business this week. Vote on Tuesday.
4. Practice gratitude for the neighborhood/place/city you live in.
