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. What is one activity, sport, or skill you had to or wanted to learn? Describe your level of comfort as you began to learn it. Did you stick with it until it became comfortable for you and why or why not? How did the experience impact your view of yourself, God, and the world?
   
3. When was the last time you sensed the Holy Spirit asking you to try something new, to “explore your legs in Him”? How did the new prospect make you feel? How did you respond and how did it go?
   
4. How would you describe your level of engagement at “exploring your legs in the Spirit until you find your stride in Him”? Select a statement below that best fits your answer.
   
   1. Desirous, but not sure how to proceed
      
   2. Stuck in a rut, and not really growing
      
   3. Just beginning to explore my legs in Him
      
   4. Regularly growing in finding my legs in Him
      
   5. Found my stride in Him, but still stumble at times
      
   6. Found my stride in Him and rarely stumble
      
5. How did you come to choose your selection, above?
   
6. Where do you sense God is wanting you to continue to grow in exercising your freedom in Christ and how might you begin pursuing that?
