Rule of Life Week 2: Building a Trellis

Ice Breaker:

• What’s a daily rhythm or habit that keeps you grounded or healthy?
  

Digging Deeper:

• If your life right now were a plant, how would you describe it — thriving, tangled, wilting, growing new shoots? Why?

Scripture Reading: Acts 2:42-47

• What stands out to you from this passage in connection to their “Rule of Life?”

• Is there one rhythm that catches your attention and why?

Our Trellis:

• When life is busy, how do your structures/habits hold up? What tends to drop first

• When resting or slower seasons come, how do you respond? Do you feel guilt, or do you lean into rest?

Considering the Trellis above:

• How does your current rule of life (trellis) support flourishing across changing seasons (busy times, resting times, growth times) and how our connection to God sustains us.

• Pam shared a vulnerable story Sunday regarding how her rhythm to life wasn’t leading to life.

  • In the last two weeks have you noticed anything in your regular rhythm you’d like to remove or alter?

  • Considering the picture above is there anything seen on either the vertical or horizontal beams you sense you might need/desire to experience?

    • Pam wonderfully said, “A rule of life is about making an exchange, not an addition.” How do you react to this statement?
