As followers of Jesus, we invite you to learn along with us on The Great Reset (Tuesdays 1 PM Pacific) as we are discipled by scripture to love more like Jesus.
Question: How can we all get better at obeying Scripture, instead of just discussing it?
Perspective: By making time to listen to, document & review what our hearts, the Holy Spirit & each other are saying about His words and ours.
Shared Selah Practice
- Starter reads aloud the Question and posts the Words
- Listen for a minute or so to what your heart and the Holy Spirit might be saying as a Response
- Write that Response down
- Take turns (in pairs or a chain) sharing and asking “active listening” questions, e.g., “Can you elaborate?” or “Where did you see that?”
- Post your Response in a shared space as Words for later review
Verses
- 1 John 2:27 “But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.”
- Psalm 131:2 “Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk. Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.”
