Re: Set to Restart

 

Renewer God, having rediscovered, reimagined and reconfigured we bring our words, our hopes, our loves and longings, ready to restart…

As we pray and hope for restoration, rebuilding and renewal throughout society what needs to be re-started?

SEEDS TO SOW: What do you want to see restart? Begin again? Go back to square one?

Read John 2: 1-11

Re: Fuel

Jesus refuels the jars, refuels the guests, and refuels the party!

Often we need to refuel before we can restart. In what ways are we asking Jesus to refuel us for the year ahead? And not just to keep going, but to keep us partying and celebrating with one another!

Let’s think about specific things we can pray to God for to help refuel us.

Read 1 Corinthians 12: 4-13

Re: Gift

Unlike an unloved bottle of bubble bath that nobody wants and get re-gifted to somebody else every Christmas (sorry Uncle Frank…) Spiritual gifts were always intended to be shared.

Why do you think the Spirit often breaks up the gifts into interlocking pairs?

What gifts do you have that could be shared with others to build up the church?

Read Numbers 11: 24-30

Re: Setting

Even when we don’t set out to reset or restart we can find ourselves suddenly moved by the Spirit and resetting anyway.

Eldad and Medad didn’t go looking for the Spirit. They were in the wrong setting, but the Spirit found them…

As we look to restart, to set out again, having set our eyes on God, how can we be more open to the Spirit calling unexpected voices? 

What steps can we take to be better and more generous listeners? In this context, how can you be more of a Moses and less of a Joshua…?
