✨ Bible Study: PROMPTS – Listening for God’s Nudges
📖 Week 1: Prompted by the Spirit
Scripture: Romans 8:14
"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God."
Teaching:
God’s Spirit prompts us in quiet ways—through conviction, encouragement, or a sudden idea. Sometimes it feels like intuition, but it’s really His gentle leading. Like your Facebook post that sparked sign-ups, small nudges can create big ripples.
Journal Prompts:
- When have I felt a gentle nudge from God?
- How did I respond?
- What small act of obedience could I take today?
🌿 Week 2: Prompted to Speak Kind Words
Scripture: 1 Kings 12:7
"If you will be a servant to these people today… and speak good words to them…"
Teaching:
Words are powerful prompts. They can heal or harm. God often nudges us to speak kindness—even when our inner voice is harsh. Serving others with gentle words is a way of living out His love.
Journal Prompts:
- What words have I spoken this week that built someone up?
- What kind words do I need to speak to myself?
- How can I be a servant in my community through encouragement?
🕯️ Week 3: Prompted to Sacrifice
Scripture: 2 Samuel 24:24
"I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing."
Teaching:
David was prompted to give something costly. True worship isn’t convenience—it’s sacrifice. Sometimes God prompts us to give time, energy, or creativity even when we feel unseen. That offering is holy.
Journal Prompts:
- What has it cost me to serve God lately?
- How do I feel about giving when no one notices?
- What is one area where God is prompting me to offer more?
🌌 Week 4: Prompted Toward Hope
Scripture: Hebrews 11:1
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
Teaching:
Prompts often come in seasons of lack. Faith means trusting that God is working even when we don’t see results. Hope is a prompt to keep moving forward, redefining worth not by recognition but by God’s promises.
Journal Prompts:
- Where do I feel lack right now?
- How can I redefine what is valuable in this season?
- What hope is God prompting me to hold onto?
🌟 Closing Reflection
PROMPTS are God’s way of guiding us step by step. They may look ordinary—a conversation, a Scripture, a creative idea—but they carry eternal weight. This study invites you to notice, respond, and grow into the person God is shaping you to be.
Would you like me to expand this into a full 28-day devotional study (like your Maplewood series), where each day has a Scripture, short reflection, and a journaling prompt under the PROMPTS theme? That way, you’d have a daily rhythm to carry through Advent or the new year.
