Discussion Questions

Do you find it easy or hard to choose between two (or more) options?

What are some significant choices you’ve faced in your life?

What were your options?  What did you choose?  Why?

Were you happy with your choice later?

Did you keep following through with that choice, or did you change your mind?

Acting on the Word

Each day, prayerfully consider how you can best serve God this day.  Do at least one thing each day with the intention of serving God.
