- What helps you create space for God’s Word to dwell in you?
- Read Colossians 3:16 aloud. Give a synonym for the word “richly” as meant by the passage.

Deuteronomy 6:4-9
Big Idea: True Faith is not inherited automatically—it must be intentionally formed.
Discussion Questions
- Who was most instrumental in forming your faith? What habits and meaningful moments were instrumental in forming your faith?
- Why is it dangerous to assume faith will naturally grow or be passed on without intentional effort?
- Loving God with heart, soul, and strength speak to our whole life. Which area feels most aligned right now—and which feels divided? See Proverbs 4:23, Ezekiel 36:26-27, and Romans 12:1-2.
- What does v. 4 mean by “The Lord our God is one”? Recall what we learned in the Trinity series we just finished but also note His exclusivity as the only God.
- For those without children, what opportunities do you have with people around you to teach them to trust God outside of Sunday?
- Based on the text, where does discipleship actually happen? How can you turn ordinary moments into opportunities to point others to God?

Pray with your Group
Lead your group to turn toward God together. Westover's Groups gather around God’s Word, create space to adore and ask, care for one another, give thanks and guard unity, and ask for God's provision as we are sent out on mission. Gather your group around prayer (2 Corinthians 1:11).
The Mission
The mission of Westover Church is the same mission Jesus gave his followers:
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
In response, Westover's purpose is to develop maturing followers of Jesus Christ.
