SMALL GROUPS

The Christian life is designed for relationships. Small Groups are where we foster community and live this life together. 

All groups meet on Tuesday evenings and are based on geographical proximity. For help finding the small group nearest to you drop us a note at hello@reservoir.church.


Reservoir Liturgy for Small Groups on June 24, 2025

Story: Check in on what is going on in life. Catch up with members of the group.

Study: Genesis 32:9-30. In the upside-down ways of Christ, his power is made perfect in our weakness.

1. When have you felt like life “got heavy” and pinned you down? How did you respond in that moment—fear, prayer, or something else?

2. Jacob finally prays from a place of humility and trust. What promises of God do you return to when you're facing fear or uncertainty?

3. Jacob tried to “fumble” his way through with strategy. Where are you tempted to rely on your own plans instead of trusting God's?

4. Jacob walked away with a limp and a new identity. How has wrestling with God—through prayer, hardship, or surrender—shaped your identity?

For Teens

1. Have you ever had a moment where everything felt overwhelming, like Jacob facing Esau? What did you do?

2. Why do you think God sometimes lets us struggle instead of fixing things right away?

3. Jacob became Israel after wrestling with God. What would it mean for you to let God shape your identity?

Soul care: How is your soul? How do these truths we’ve discussed impact our hearts, hopes, fears, and focus?

Seeking: Ask for requests and pray for each other. One volunteer can pray or time permitting all those that feel led can pray.

Sending: As you go remind each other that we go as ambassadors of Christ in our neighbors.
