Sermon Questions
- Where in your life do you feel unworthy or unsure – and what would it look like to step forward anyway, trusting God?
- When have you felt a real sense of belonging, and how can you help create that same sense for someone else this week?
- What is one voice you need to turn down, and one way you can listen more closely for God’s voice this week?
