This week's reflection questions: 

  1. How have you seen God's heart to expand and gather in your own context?
  2. What sorts of things have you found yourself sharing with others, simply because you were moved or excited by it?
  3. What gifts, talents, or investments have been made in you that could be gifts to others? 

As always . . . you're invited to join us in the private Facebook group for conversation around these ideas and the sharing of your experience!
