Questions for Discussion  
1. God's Family: Is there a particular relationship within the church family that you desire? (Someone to pour into you. Someone for you to pour into. A companion for ministry. ). Pray. Is there a specific step you need to take to pursue this? (Prayer might be your only step for now — which is ok).

2. Led by the Spirit: In what ways do you see God directing you individually? Us as a church?

3. On Jesus' mission of healing:  Is there a group of people or need that God is drawing your attention to? What is one thing you can do this week to move toward being a healing agent to them)
