Scripture and Questions for Study and Reflection: 1. What is the hardest thing you have ever done or been asked to do? 2. Read 1 Samuel. Have you heard God speak to you audibly or in your head? What did God say? 3. Read the Book of Jonah found between Obadiah & Micah in your Bible. What country would you refuse to go to if God wanted you to go to them and ask them to repent? Why? 4. Has God ever given you a ‘time-out’ to reconsider what God wants you to do? What happened? 5. Was there an event or experience that resulted in you following Jesus? What happened? 6. Read Matthew 4: 18-22. In what ways does Jesus call you to follow him today? 7. What excuses have you given Jesus or God for not doing as was asked? 8. In what ways do you give of your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service, and your witness so that in all things in and through our church you give glory to God? Prayer for the Week: Holy God, you have called me to do many things. Help me reprioritize my life so I can follow and serve you, in gratefulness and thanksgiving. Amen.
