Week 1 – Small Group Discussion Questions
- Read John 10:10. Do you think people tend to see this verse in reverse (that Jesus steals away enjoyment and the devil brings it)? Why or why not?
- Pastor Jon said that living w/ simplicity means walking away from innumerable opportunities to take advantage of an incredible, God-ordained opportunity. Has this ever happened to you? If so, how?
- If you were to gauge your “fullness” on a “life bucket”, are you full, empty, or somewhere in between?
- What are things like for you when you’re running on a full tank?
- What are things like for you when you’re running on empty?
- Bill Hybel says, “When you’re running on empty, you’re not only hard to be around, you’re dangerous.” Do you agree? Why or why not?
- What sort of things fill up your bucket and what sort of things drain you?
- Read Romans 15:13. Have you ever been “overflowing” with joy and peace? If so, when? If you’re not sure, can you remember a time when someone else was overflowing with joy and peace? What gave you that impression?
