In We Are Family: This Is Us, Pastor Mike Meyers unpacks Ecclesiastes 4:12, illustrating how a Christ-centered family—bound together like a three-strand cord—thrives when God is our strength, united with our family and faith community for His glory.
Discussion Questions for Growth Groups
1. What does it mean to you that your family was planned, assembled, and empowered by God for a purpose?
How does that change the way you view your family dynamic, struggles, or daily routines?
2. In what ways can your family, like a cord of three strands, grow stronger under pressure rather than being pulled apart?
Can you share a moment where a trial brought your family closer together instead of tearing it apart?
3. Are you living your life and leading your family more like a passive character or like a hero in God’s epic story?
What would need to shift in your home or heart for your family to live with greater intention toward God's purpose?
4. How do you see the unique “design” of your family — personalities, gifts, stories — fitting into God’s greater story?
What are some ways your family could uniquely reflect Christ to your church, neighborhood, or community?
5. What does it look like for your family to place its full weight on Christ, the strength member of your cord?
Are there areas in your family life where you are still holding on to control or leaning on your own strength?
