RE:made for Hope - We have been RE:made for a hope.

1. Where do I run for hope when life feels broken? (The suffering is real, but it is not final.)
Scripture: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” — Romans 8:18

• When life gets painful, discouraging, or disappointing, where do you instinctively look for hope or comfort?
• What helps you remember that this broken world is not the end of the story?

2. What parts of life make me long for restoration? (Creation and humanity are both longing for renewal.)
Scripture: “We ourselves… groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for… the redemption of our bodies.” — Romans 8:23

• What in your life right now makes you deeply long for God to make all things new?
• Where do you most feel the effects of the curse—in your body, relationships, emotions, or struggles with sin?

3. Am I getting too comfortable here? (We were made for another Kingdom, but we often become too comfortable here.)
Scripture: “Our citizenship is in heaven.” — Philippians 3:20

• In what ways do you find yourself settling into the values and priorities of this world instead of God’s Kingdom?
• What distractions or comforts make it easy to lose sight of eternity?

4. What glimpse of the Kingdom are people seeing through me? (Hopeful waiting is active waiting.)
Scripture: “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” — Matthew 6:10

• If people around you watched your life this week, what evidence would they see of God’s Kingdom?
• Where is God calling you to bring Kingdom values right now—through forgiveness, patience, generosity, peace, or love?

5. How is Jesus remaking me? (Salvation is not just escape—it’s transformation.)
Scripture: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

• Where do you see God reshaping you to look more like Jesus?
• What’s one area where you still resist His work of making you new?
