- What’s an area of your life that tangibly shows your dependence upon God, like Tim’s sunflower illustration?
- Read Psalm 121 together—what phrases stick out to you? What might God be saying to you through this psalm in growing your dependence upon him?
- Is there something your group can do to serve the neighbors that you keep private to yourgroup? Consider a small sacrificial way to give in the community as a form of worshipingGod by serving your neighbors.
- When was the last time you fasted? Why did you seek to fast and what was the result?
- Take a moment to consider where you are not relying on God as the provider and in turn sense anxiety in your life. Remind each other of Matt. 6:32-34 and pray for each other in closing.

Through the Bible in one Year
Join us in reading through the entire Bible in one year. Each day of this plan guides you through passages from both the Old and New Testaments, allowing you to see connections between the history of our faith, and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. Readings average four chapters in length, so it is posible to do. When you use the YouVersion Bible App, you can even have the app read the Bible text to you – very useful when you are in the car or otherwise occupied with your hand.
All you need to do is click the link to the Bible Plan, which should lead you straight to the Bible app. Your two options are now (1) to read the plan on your own, one day at the time. Or (2) you can make it more fun and rewarding, by sharing the plan with one or more friends, and then even “Talk about it”.
