Discussion questions in July.

Hi all
It's easy to leave the best part of the sunday message untouched. This is the part where people wrestle with it afterward and figure out what it has to do with real life. Thanks for creating environments where people get a chance to do this.

Over the next month, there will only be the generic discussion guide available. I say "only" as a measurement of quantity, not quality. These questions, and an attentive ear as a leader during a message and during group time, are plenty to create great conversations and challenging application to the individuals and to the group as a whole. As I am on sabbatical, I won't be producing this or anything else. But it will continue to be my hope that the groups we lead are challenged and comforted, encouraged and loved this summer.

We'll pick back up in August with specifically tailored discussion guides for you to you lead with.

Be creative.
Be attentive.
Be humble.
Be honest.
Above all, be loving!

Thanks for leading.
Steve

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?

What did you learn:

*About God?

*About yourself?

*About others?

What changes in thought and in style-of-relating might be necessary in light of what you've learned?

What are the hindrances to transformation, and what do we do about those?

What role can this group play to help you take steps this week and beyond?
