Sister Studies: Session 1 (October 2022)

Hello, Sisters! Here is Session 1 of our study for this year, Discerning the Voice of God with Priscilla Shirer.

If you are joining with a Sister Circle, you may want to watch this video ahead of time. (Some groups will watch the video together and others will just discuss the questions.) 

October Sister Circles meet October 9, 12, & 14. (Join us! Click here to sign up!)

If you have a copy of the Discerning the Voice of God Bible study book, you can follow along with the viewer guide on page 7 of the book. If you don't have the book, you can print a copy of the viewer guide for this session using one of these links:

Session 1 Viewer Guide with Answers

Before you watch the video, take a moment to think about these questions:

• What first comes to mind when you think of hearing from God?
• Does hearing from God come easily or has it been a struggle?

In John 5:30, Jesus says, "I can do nothing on my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore, my judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will."

• Considering Jesus as a model, what might it look like for us to submit to God's will in our everyday lives?
• Does this come easily to most of us? Why or why not?

SIGN UP FOR SISTER STUDIES EMAILS HERE AND WE'LL SEND YOU AN EMAIL WITH A LINK TO THIS MONTH'S VIDEO.

After you've watched the video, here are some other questions to consider.

• What resonated most with you from the video?
• How do you struggle with stillness and prayer? What can you do to intentionally practice stillness?
• Have you ever been reluctant to obey something you felt God was telling you to do because you didn't think God would "work" that way?

Father God, please soften our hearts and purify our wills so that we would desire to obey You more than anything. Help us to say, "YES, LORD." May we mean it with all of our hearts, souls, minds, and strength. In the Name of Jesus, Amen

Keep an eye on your email (or here) for follow up posts throughout the month. If you have the book, go through the first "week" of the book (Days 1-5) and we'll look at Session 2 together in November!

(November Sister Circles will meet November 13, 16, & 18.)

May God bless you as you seek His face, His heart, and His voice.

Much Love,

Melissa
