But I'm not sure what to blame for forgetting that I forgot since then.
My apologies. I know many of you count on this as you lead. Ugh.
In order to put together something quickly, please reference the general discussion makers below, as well as noting the key texts from the message.
As a bonus, I'll include at the bottom a rendition of one of my favorite Japanese parables. Consider reading it to your group, and watch for the sense of puzzlement about what seems to be a missing conclusion.
Key texts:
- Galatians 5:18-23
- James 1:1-3
- Luke 22:39-46
- Hebrews 12:1-3
What most stuck out for you about Sunday morning?
What were the key points for you in the message?
What was the "one thing" you took away that seems applicable in your own, personal life?
Why is working to find joy harder than complaining or pushing joy away?

What did you learn:
*About God?
*About yourself?
*About others?
What changes of thought and style of relating are necessary in light of what you learned?
What are the hindrances, and what do we do about those?
What role can this group play to help you take steps this week and beyond?
A man is running from a tiger that’s chasing him. He runs through the woods until he gets to the edge of a cliff. The tiger is still behind him, so he climbs down a vine. The tiger reaches the top of the cliff and paces back and forth, licking its chops. Midway down the cliff, hanging onto the vine, she sees another tiger below her, pacing back and forth, licking its chops. As she’s hanging there, two mice come out and start gnawing on the vine. She tries to shoo them away, but they won’t go.
Just then she sees, growing out of the face of the cliff in front of her, a wild berry bush. She picks from it and eats it. And she thought they were so very delicious.
