Questions for week Feb 24th - March 2nd

Change your World in 52 Days

The Leader in you

1) Just for fun: If you had a 25 hour day, while everyone else still had a 24 hour day, what would you do with your extra hour?

If you are meeting for the first time since the series Change your World in 52 Days began, we suggest going over last week’s questions now then moving on to #2.  You can scroll down for the questions or click here.

2) When you hear the word ‘leader’ what comes to your mind?  Have you ever considered yourself a leader? Why or why not?

3) Our take away truth for Sunday’s message, The Leader In You, was, You don’t have to be the best, you just have to care the most.  Have you seen or know of someone who was leading the way not because they were the most talented or gifted, but because they were the most passionate?  How does that person make you feel about yourself when you think about wanting to do great things for God and others?

4) Of the three things leaders do (Define the mission Clearly, Make Plans Carefully, & Inspire People Passionately) which one is the easiest for you?  Which one does not come so easy?  What would be a solution for you concerning the one that is not so easy?

7) How can reflecting on Jesus’ sacrificial death and victorious resurrection encourage us in our suffering?
