GROUP DISCUSSION GUIDE:

  1. Have you every changed something you had previously believed? What caused you to change?
  2. Has Jesus become all you need or are you still pursuing other things to give your life meaning?
  3. If Jesus has been drawing people to himself, how would you know someone in your Oikos is being drawn to Him?
