Kairos Discussion and Reflection
Heart- How do you sense the Spirit of God moving in your life?
Soul- In 3:10-14 it speaks of how different powers can use that power.
Where have you see examples similar to these in your life, starting with childhood to today?
Mind-How are we as a church both invitational and challenging?
Strength- How is your life one of both invitation and challenge?
Which one is more who you naturally are?
Neighbor- How can you partner with others to share the gospel?
What do you think it might cost you?
