The Me I Want To Be: Becoming God's Best Version of You by John Ortberg Session Five - Transforming My Experience (Chapters 19 - 22)
Questions to Consider
In the book, the author states that we sometimes want or desire a problem-free life. Do you wish you did not have problems? Do you look at challenges as positive or negative?
What are some of the challenges you faced over the last month? What was your typical response to them?
Think of a time you faced a challenge that made you focus on the needs of others instead of your own. Describe that experience. Do you think you flourish more when you are focusing on the needs of other rather than your own? Why?
How do you tend to view becoming the person God wants you to be?
* As a single pursuit woven throughout your daily life.
* One of many pursuits in your life
* Other
Please explain your answer.
Scriptures To Consider
Mark 8:34
God calls each of us to live for something other than ourselves. When Jesus invites His followers to "take up their cross," do you think they understood that it was a call to sacrificial love and serving? How to you feel about this passage? Do you see it as a burden or opportunity or both? Why?
Numbers 13:26-33
How did most of the men respond to challenges that faced them? How did Caleb respond? Why do you think Caleb had a different perspective? How do you think you wouild have responded? Like Caleb or the others?
1 Corinthians 2:2-5
When we think of the person going through the challenge, we think God wants them to completely confident their ability. Paul in this statement is relying on something other than himself.
Romans 12:6-8
The Holy Spirit give us gives for a reason. If you have a gift, it is meant to be used. What would happen is we used our gifts when we faced our challenges? What would happen if we don't use our gifts when we face our challenges?
