Vanishing Act
Page 19
Have you ever had something unexpectedly restored to you like Danielle’s father is to her? What was your reaction?
Nate’s father and grandfather have left him a legacy of sin that he feels certain he will repeat. What legacies do you feel your family has passed to you? Are there positive traits that have been passed to you?
Danielle tries to tell Nate the truth—that he is not like his father or grandfather. But Nate isn’t ready to hear it. Have you ever tried to tell someone a truth they weren’t ready to hear? Has someone tried to tell you something you weren’t prepared to hear? How did that turn out?
During Nate and Danielle’s big fight about their future, whose side were you on? Why do you think you sided with him/her?
Do you identify with Nate’s desire to be in control? Like Nate, have you reached a point where you realized that God has to be the One in charge? How has that changed your life?
Is there something that you’re holding on to, refusing to give God control of? What’s holding you back?
Most of us will never know what it’s like to have an assassin chasing us, but we probably know what it’s like to have other kinds of fear weighing us down. How has God made His presence known in your fears?
