Making it Personal:

- How might a passive faith stunt your spiritual growth? How might a domineering faith stunt your spiritual growth?
- On Sunday Pastor Jason made the point, “We are to obey what is clear. For what is unclear, we are to trust God will work in us until it becomes clear.” How have you seen this be true in your life?
- We discovered three seasons in our divine dance with God. Review your notes. Which season do you find yourself currently in? How are you learning to obey God in this season? For some we might find we are experiencing all of these seasons in different spheres of our lives.
- How has God’s word encouraged you personally, through this study, or Sunday’s sermon?
