DISCUSSION OF WEEK 7 - THE NEW PEOPLE OF GOD

INTRODUCTION
We’re going through a study called “Cover to Cover: A 50-Day Flyover of the Bible.” By reading approximately 1-2 chapters a day and watching a few 5-8 minute videos from the Bible Project each week, we’ll discover the answers to some of life's biggest questions and come to a better, more helpful understanding of the Christian faith and the beauty of its promise for the world.  

This week, we’re discussing the readings, videos, and message from Week 8 titled “Restoring Eden.”

REVIEW & DISCUSS

1. Did you complete all readings? All the videos?
   
2. What stood out to you from last week’s readings and videos? Any favorites or most interesting?
   
3. Watch “Heaven & Earth” from the Bible Project. How does this help or change your understanding of the overall message of the Bible?
   
4. Go back through each week and review with each other the main themes. Pay particular attention to the theme of God’s Edenic vision for the flourishing of humanity by their faith in and partnership with God. 
   
5. Now read Revelation 21:9-14 and 22:1-5. What is the closing message of the Bible?
   
6. What has been your understanding of what the book of Revelation is all about? Is there anything about this last Sunday’s sermon or the Bible Project videos that helped or changed your understanding?

TAKEAWAY
What are some final thoughts and applications you are taking away from this series.

PRAYER
First, take some time to ask people to identify prayer needs related to the discussion. Second, take some time to ask for additional prayer requests. Then close your time together in prayer.
