Things to Consider: (Feel free to read Scripture passages that God brings to mind as you work through these questions)

1. What about the sermon challenged, encouraged, or confused you? What, if anything, would you like further clarification on?
   
2. Where do you individually need the Holy Spirit to give you inner strength right now? What about for SBC?
   
3. How deeply do you individually know Christ’s love for you? How about SBC?
   
4. How filled are you individually with the shekinah presence of God? How about SBC?
   
5. What would it take for SBC to “glow up” (i.e. grow into becoming all God intends it to be)?
   
6. What would you personally need to do to help SBC “glow up”?
