New Series – Not Just Sunday

Week 2 Title – Surrender Your Control

1. When you hear the word “surrender,” what honestly comes to mind for you—and why do you think that is?

2. What’s the difference between surrendering to God and being passive or doing nothing? How do you personally balance trust and responsibility?

3. In what area of your life do you find it hardest to trust God right now? What makes that area so difficult to release?

4. Why do you think we tend to want Jesus as Savior, but struggle to fully submit to Him as Lord in our daily lives?

5. Read Proverbs 3:5–6 together. What does it practically look like to “lean not on your own understanding” in your current season?

6. How does holding onto control impact your peace, relationships, and decision-making?

7. How can surrender actually lead to freedom rather than restriction? Have you experienced that in your life before?

8. What would it look like for you to choose “God’s way over your way” this week in a practical, everyday situation?

New Series – Not Just Sunday

Week 1 Title – Christian Atheist

2.  The message talked about a gap between what we say we believe and how we actually live. Where do you see that gap most in your own life right now?

3.  How would you describe the difference between “believing in Jesus” and “following Jesus”?

4.  The idea of “loyalty to a King” was introduced—how does that change the way you think about your relationship with Jesus? If someone looked at your everyday life—your decisions, priorities, and habits—what would they say you are most loyal to?

5.  Where in your life do you feel like you’ve been letting Jesus be part of your life—but not fully leading it?

6.  What is one step you could take this week to more intentionally follow Jesus in your everyday life—not just on Sunday?
