The book of Proverbs reminds us that ants are creatures of little strength. By doing little things consistently and faithfully day by day, they are able to achieve remarkable results. We’re excited to experience Biblical stories showing us some different ways that consistency and faithfulness over time can lead to meaningful impact.. one small step at a time.

Faith in the Waiting: The Story of Abraham
Pastor Chris
Waiting is hard. Especially when you’re holding onto a promise that hasn’t come true yet. This week, we walk with Abraham through long seasons of waiting, quiet faithfulness, and God’s surprising timing.
-
When you hear the word waiting, what emotion shows up first for you? Hope? Frustration? Anxiety?
In the sermon, Abraham’s story stretches over decades. Why do you think Scripture is so honest about how long God’s promises can take?
In Genesis 12, God tells Abram to go, but not where he’ll end up. What are some reasons God might work this way instead of giving full clarity?
In seasons of waiting, what usually tempts you more: Giving up? …or trying to take control?
What do you think it means that righteousness is credited by faith, not earned by effort? How does that challenge the way we normally think about growth or maturity?

The Ripple Effect
Pastor PJ
Discover how small actions can make a big difference in God’s kingdom.
-
Who is someone (a coach, teacher, parent, leader, or friend) who made a big difference in your life in a small but meaningful way? What did they do?
God has given each of us gifts and a purpose. How have you seen God use someone else to help you grow into who you are today? Or, have you helped someone grow in their gifting and purpose? Share what happened.
What stands out to you most from the way Paul mentored Timothy? Why do you think it mattered so much?
Who is one person God might be inviting you to invest in right now—and what’s one small step you could take this week to begin? (Check out the Pastor PJ’s 1x1 Challenge.)

The Power of Small
Pastor David
Little things may not seem important in the moment, but when they’re practiced faithfully over time they can really add up.
-
Which “small step” or “small habit” from the message resonated with you the most, and why do you think God highlighted that for you? (Consider habits related to prayer, Scripture, relationships, generosity, rest, etc.)
Proverbs 6:6 says, “Consider the ant and be wise.” What wisdom do you personally need from the ant right now? (Consistency? Preparing ahead? Not waiting for motivation? Doing small things faithfully?)
Jim Collins’ “20-mile march” teaches slow, steady discipline. Where in your life have you been doing 0-mile days followed by unrealistic 40-mile spurts—and how might a “20-mile march” approach bring peace and progress?
St. Ignatius’ Examen invites us to notice where God is present in small moments. What small graces or “God sightings” have you noticed recently that you might have overlooked before?
What is one small, consistent, doable habit you want to begin this week—and what will you stack it onto so it actually happens? (e.g., “After I pour my coffee, I’ll read one verse,” “After I get in the car, I’ll thank God for one thing,” etc.)
