Whos Carrying You?
Fall Circle Groups | Week 2
Leader Note: This season, we are simplifying the format to allow for organic group
discussion. We will keep God’s word central but will allow room for leaders to flex their
facilitating muscles. Let’s get ready for a great conversation!
OPEN IN PRAYER & ICEBREAKER
MESSAGE SUMMARY
It’s been said that were a mighty alone but so much more powerful when we are
together. As the cliché goes teamwork makes the dreamwork. The same is true even in
the middle of your trials, tribulation, and persecutions when you may feel paralyzed. We
never walk alone. During this most vulnerable time is when we need to turn to the best
teammate we could ask for. Because it is in these vulnerable times that the enemy will
try and even send a wolf in sheeps clothing to try to “carry” you. Watch out! Be careful
who you allow to speak into your ear and into your life. Who we choose to associate
with can make or break us. We must be certain that we have a strong, devoted team
that is going after God just like we are and this week we will see just how we are to do
that.
Key Scripture:
Mark 2:1-5
Psalm 148:13-14, 2 Timothy 1:13-14, John 17:14
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Point #1: Do the people in your life have the strength to carry your weight? You do not
need a light weight trying to carry you when you are a heavy weight. Strategy is different
based on your weight class. One blow of praise could knock the enemy out.
Scripture: Read (Psalm 148:13-14). Let them praise the name of the LORD, For
His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.14 And He has
exalted the [a]horn of His people, The praise of all His saints Of the children of Israel, A
people near to Him. Praise the LORD!
There are scriptures that tell us if we are weak to say that we are strong. The word isn’t
telling us to lie. It is allowing us the opportunity to speak life into ourselves. As a man
thinketh so is he.

“Who’s Carrying You?”

Fall Circle Groups | Week 2

Leader Note: This season, we are simplifying the format to allow for organic group

discussion. We will keep God’s word central but will allow room for leaders to flex their

facilitating muscles. Let’s get ready for a great conversation!

OPEN IN PRAYER & ICEBREAKER

MESSAGE SUMMARY

It’s been said that were a mighty alone but so much more powerful when we are

together. As the cliché goes teamwork makes the dreamwork. The same is true even in

the middle of your trials, tribulation, and persecutions when you may feel paralyzed. We

never walk alone. During this most vulnerable time is when we need to turn to the best

teammate we could ask for. Because it is in these vulnerable times that the enemy will

try and even send a wolf in sheep’s clothing to try to “carry” you. Watch out! Be careful

who you allow to speak into your ear and into your life. Who we choose to associate

with can make or break us. We must be certain that we have a strong, devoted team

that is going after God just like we are and this week we will see just how we are to do

that.

Key Scripture:

  • Mark 2:1- 5
  • Psalm 148:13- 14 , 2 Timothy 1:13- 14 , John 17:

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Point #1: Do the people in your life have the strength to carry your weight? You do not need a light weight trying to carry you when you are a heavy weight. Strategy is different based on your weight class. One blow of praise could knock the enemy out.

  • Scripture: Read ( Psalm 148:13- 14 ). Let them praise the name of the LORD, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.^14 And He has exalted the [a]horn of His people, The praise of all His saints— Of the children of Israel, A people near to Him. Praise the LORD!
  • There are scriptures that tell us if we are weak to say that we are strong. The word isn’t telling us to lie. It is allowing us the opportunity to speak life into ourselves. As a man thinketh so is he.
  • Let’s discuss a time when, even in a negative situation you were able to speak life into it and it turned into a positive time in your life. Point #2: When you are paralyzed, make sure your crew knows how to talk, walk, and work at the same time.
  • Scripture: Read ( 2 Timothy 1:13- 14 ) Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
  • Jesus spoke life into everyone around Him. He knew that the world was sick, emotionally, physically, spiritually.
  • Was there ever a time when someone spoke life in you? Was there ever a time when someone spoke negatively to you and you allowed those words to penetrate your mind? Point # 3 : Know who your crew is carrying you to.
  • Scripture: Read (Mark 2:4-5). And when they could not come nigh unto Him for the press, they uncovered the roof where He was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, He said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
  • In our walk with Christ, it is important to be careful where the ones we allow to walk with us are carrying us. Hopefully, they will lead others to worship, to prayer, to obedience in God and His word.
  • Where are the people you allow in your circle leading you? Or are you leading them to Christ? Point 4: Watch what they do once you are closing in on your miracle.
  • Scripture: Read (John 17:14). I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
  • Jesus prayed for us as you see in John 17! We are blessed that He did pray for us, because Jesus knew what we would face just so we could be called His disciples. So, to know about Jesus’ prayer hopefully gives us confidence amid adversity.
  • What time amid adversity in your life was it comforting to know that someone prayed or was praying for you? CONCLUSION & CHALLENGE In our walk with Christ, in times of adversity we have to look to the author and finisher of our faith, Jesus. He is a strong tower and when leaning on others who do not have the spiritual strength to carry you would be detrimental to your spirituality we must look to Jesus. It is essential that you get in a strong spiritual relationship, alliances, and allegiances that support your walk in God. Obey the voice of The Lord, follow Him.
