Discussion Questions

We hope you enjoyed the Anchor at Home! At this time, your host can lead your small group through these discussion questions.

  • Your life is not your own. How does that statement hit you?
  • Are there people in your life that you can see helped you with your “math problems” of faith and trust?
  • Have you ever experienced a time where you felt like you were “lucky” or you were “blessed” with something? Can you see it as a moment of GRACE from God? Has God ever shown you His power over things out of your power?
