At Magnify we hope to be in relationship with each other one-on-one, in small groups, and corporately. Being willing to be known and to know others is a vital part of our discipleship. Our hope is that each person connected to Magnify feels known, seen, and loved.

TOGETHER IN LIFE
Feeling “seen” can be a powerful experience, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Share a time when you felt noticed in a significant way. Was it embarrassing or life-giving?
TOGETHER IN THE WORD
READ ALOUD: Acts 3:1-26
KEY QUESTION: What does the power of Jesus enable us to do?
QUESTIONS:
- In this story, how is the idea of “sight” used?
- Describe God’s power. In what ways is it on display here?
- How would you describe God’s love?
- In what ways do you see it in this passage?
- What is the proper response to demonstrations of God’s love?
- What does this look like in your life?
- Is there anyone in your life that you treat as invisible?
- What might it look like to demonstrate God’s love to them?
- Have you ever felt invisible, unseen, or unloved by God? Why?
- Do you struggle with that now?
- What reminders do you have in your life that reassure you of God’s love for you in the midst of pain?
TOGETHER IN PRAYER & ACTION
If you are at all feeling convicting of hard-heartedness, confess that to the group and know that Jesus stands ready to forgive. Pray for one another, that you would all be tender-hearted to those who are most often overlooked. Remember the hope we have in Christ, that the Author of Life will one day come and restore all things, including whatever is weighing you down now.
- Who is one person you need to see and love with true compassion?
- Who is one person you need to share the hope and power of Jesus with?
