2. What questions do you have about Jesus or about faith in Jesus that you would like answered?  Who is a trusted voice to help you answer those?

3. What are some examples of truth that we are called to steward as God’s people?  Reread 1:5 again and commit it to memory.  In what way are you specifically challenged by this as a bullseye target for this task of stewarding sound doctrine?
