If your group is new or you have new members, give everyone a chance to introduce themselves and share how they came to be a part of the group.2. What are you hoping to get from this study?3. How do you define “worship”? KEY VERSEHow great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!              1 John 3:1 (NIV) DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. Buddy started this session by saying: “The pursuit of God is the chase of a lifetime. In fact, it’s been going on since the day you were born. The question is: Have you been the hunter or the prey?” Looking back on your life experience, can you pinpoint a time when God has taken initiative in your relationship with him? Share your memory of that moment.2. Reflect on the Parable of the Prodigal. Was Buddy’s perspective on it new to you? How? Discuss the ways you’ve seen God lavish his love on you.3. Read the Closing Thought in the lesson outline. How would you answer that final question: “What is our Father worth to you?” In what ways have you discovered God’s value?4. What would you say has been the primary motivating factor in your desire to please God? Has it been obligation or fear, or has it been love and gratitude? PRAYER DIRECTION Sung PrayerListen to, or sing along with “Good, Good Father” and “He Knows My Name” on the Songs for The Way of a Worshiper playlist. Silent PrayerIf, like the boy in the Parable of the Prodigal, you are far from God in a “distant country,” your journey home begins with a single decision. It starts by coming to your senses, turning your heart toward home, and surrendering your life to Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6 NIV). If you want to come home to the Father today, simply pray: “Lord Jesus, please forgive me of my sins. I believe you died for me and that you rose from the dead. Please come into my life and be my Savior. Amen.” If you are giving your life to Jesus Christ today, please share that decision with a member of your group. He or she will be happy to pray with you. If you’re already at home with the Father but feel a little overwhelmed with life’s daily activities, consider Jesus’ words: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28 NIV). Take your burdens and give them to him now. Experience his rest. Group PrayerGod loves us despite our brokenness and regardless of our failures. Offer brief prayers of thanksgiving to God for his love and mercy. Then pray for each other’s requests. LIVING ON PURPOSEWorship1. Buddy sa

    The Great Exchange of Worship

    Last episode we saw that worship is declaring the worth or value of God. This week we look at the "great exchange of worship!" Worship aligns us with the throne of God’s grace. Does that mean you have to say nice things to God to get him to do nice things for you? Not at all. What it means is that when you worship God, you align yourself with his throne of grace. You are more likely to feast at the King’s table if you sit at the King’s feet. You are more likely to get wet if you stand in the river than if you wait out in the desert.

    The Place of His Presence

    God still loves the world and he wants to love the world through you. Yes the world is sinful. Yes terrible things happen everyday. But God still loves the world despite all of that, and he wants to use you to show how much He loves the people around you.
