Quick Review
Discussion Starters from the Weekend Talk
Refer to the Talk Notes and related Bible verses from this Weekend’s Talk Notes.
The One Thing from the weekend Talk that Pastor Jeff led us through was this: “My Burden Reveals God’s Plan For Me.”
Jeff raised three key questions we must carefully consider when we are seeking to understand our circumstances, our opportunities, and our ability to hear and discern God’s plan for us.
Digging Deeper
As we consider Jeff’s Three Questions, it makes sense that we should pray regarding each of them. Here are some Bible passages that can help you turn each question into a prayer. Remember that one great way to turn scripture into prayer is to simply READ a verse (or portion of a verse), RESPOND in prayer to God about what you just read, REPEAT the process.
