Worship Week 2

Hey Ikon Parents,
last night our topic was "pieces" . We looked at Matthew 21:42, 44

42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
“‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing,and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
44 . . . the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”

We talked about what it means to be broken before God. To truly be able to worship God we need to be broken before him. As it says in Psalm 51:7:

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

We discussed the following questions in small group:

Who is the “stone?” What will the stone do?

Is there a difference between be “broken to pieces” and being “crushed?” Why or why not?

What are some ways we become broken – spiritually, emotionally, physically?

Why is it so hard to let yourself be broken? List ways people resist it.

We ended the night by reflecting on ways each one of us need to be broken and/or put back together by God.
