Grow Group Questions - March 29, 2026

Announcement: Neighbor’s Day is a great opportunity to step into what is NEAR. Consider signing up as a Grow Group and serving side by side.
Opening Prayer Prompts For Group:
P-Praise God that He is faithful and true, and that every word He speaks can be trusted.
R- Repent of settling into comfort, control, or distraction instead of faithfulness.
A-Ask Jesus to give you what you need to endure and remain faithful where life is hard.
Y-Yield your life, your future, and your expectations to Him, trusting that what is coming is far better than what is now.
Ice Breaker: What makes for your ideal rest stop on a road trip?
The Sermon Setup: Read Revelation 21:6-21
At the end of Revelation, we see God calling His people “out,” as He does throughout Scripture. What stood out to you about that?
In this passage, Jesus says, “I am coming soon.” How does “I am coming soon” make you feel?
The command to “keep” the words (obey them) is repeated. Why is obedience such a central theme at the end of Revelation? Do you feel like “obedience” is something you emphasize in your own life towards God? How or how not?
The lesson was that “God’s people live for the world to come (instead of our current world).” What parts of your life feel anchored in which places?
Going Deeper
Where might your life show dependence on “Babylon” rather than on Jesus?
The message defined overcoming as not giving in, giving up, or giving over. Are there areas of your life where you are currently tempted to give in, give up, or give over? Why?
Do you agree with the sentiment of wanting Christ to return, or is there a reason why you aren't ready for him to come back?
- What is one practical step you personally can take to “come out of Babylon” in your thinking or living?
