Life Group Resources: Field of Dreams

Opening Question: Have you ever felt a "whisper" or prompting to do something that didn't make logical sense? How did you respond?

Key Takeaways:
Faith is about trusting in the unseen and stepping out even when we don't have all the answers.
God calls us to be people of reconciliation, both with Him and with others.
Sometimes faith requires us to take risks and build before we see the results.
Discussion Questions:

The sermon mentions that faith is "the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen." How does this definition challenge or affirm your understanding of faith?

Pastor Jordan talks about the "whisper" Ray hears in the movie. Have you ever experienced a moment where you felt God was calling you to do something unexpected? Share your experience.

The sermon emphasizes reconciliation as a key aspect of our faith. Are there any relationships in your life that need reconciliation? What steps might you take towards healing?

How does the idea of "walking by faith, not by sight" apply to your daily life? Can you share an example?

The sermon suggests that faith often requires action without full clarity. How does this concept make you feel? Excited? Anxious? Why?

Reflect on the quote: "Faith builds the field, love invites the people, and God brings us home." What does this mean to you in practical terms?

Practical Applications:
This week, identify one area in your life where you need to step out in faith. Write it down and share it with a trusted friend or family member.

Choose one relationship that needs reconciliation. Pray about it daily and consider taking a small step towards healing (e.g., sending a message, making a call).

As a group, brainstorm ways your church or community could "build a field" to welcome others. How can you create spaces of grace and reconciliation?

Spend some time in prayer, asking God to reveal any "whispers" or callings in your life that you might be ignoring or afraid to pursue.

Closing Reflection: Remember, like Ray in "Field of Dreams," we're called to build something that invites others to experience God's love and reconciliation. This week, be open to the whispers of faith and the opportunities to create spaces of welcome and healing in your life and community.
