QUESTIONS:

1) What personal "hopes" or "expectations" do I place on one person, or thing, in my life, and how can I learn to rely more on God's plan instead?

2) How can I be more intentional in introducing others to Jesus, particularly those from different cultural or social backgrounds?

3) In what areas of my life am I holding on too tightly to my comfort and security, and what might it look like to "die" to those comforts for the sake of following Jesus, what practical steps can I take to follow Jesus in this way?

4) What does it mean for me personally to "serve" Jesus, and how does my obedience to Him bring glory to the Father?

5) How do I respond to the darkness in the world? Do I seek the light of Christ, or do I often retreat into darkness out of fear or comfort?
