Wind of the Spirit - Connect Groups

Week One

 

Part 1: The Wind of the Spirit reveals God’s purpose

 

This month, in a departure from our normal pattern, the material is going to look at just one passage in each session and dive into it. It may be that you wish to re-read the text as you move from question to question as we often notice new things on repeated readings. If you are in a group perhaps somebody different could read it each time.

Read Proverbs 3: 13-26

What word or words jump off the page when you read this passage?

Second reading

The text sees ‘wisdom’ in four ways:

  • a priceless treasure
  • a rich full meaningful and fulfilled life
  • shalom: the abundant welfare of God’s peace
  • the tree of life promoting fruitfulness

What in your own life fits any of these definitions?

Final reading

In this passage Wisdom is personified (“Her ways are pleasant ways, / and all her paths are peace.”). Do we get any new insights into scripture, life or faith when we think about Wisdom as a person?

What do you think it would be like to have a conversation with Wisdom?
