Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
• Share how your father (or father figures) used his authority in the home. In what ways did he put his authority into good use?
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
• What did you learn about your father (or yourself) through the message?
• What did you learn about our Heavenly Father through the message?
4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
• For fathers: Examine your heart. How have you been using your authority to highlight and keep Christ at the center of your family (and not yourself)?
• For all: How are you obeying God’s authority over your family?
5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
• For fathers: How will you utilize your authority in making your home a safe space for your children?
• For non-fathers: In what ways can you support your father (or father figures) in making your home a safe space?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
• Praise our Heavenly Father as He is holy and just. We can trust that He will never abuse His authority.
• For fathers: Repent for the instances you did not put your God-give authority to good use
• For non-fathers: Ask God to help you heal, forgive, and possibly reconcile with your father (or father figures) who may have abused his authority in the home
• Pray that fathers will exercise and model submission to God’s authority and let Christ be the center of their homes
