Questions for Personal Reflection:

1. Is your study of the scripture leading to real life change or are you just learning things? If it’s the latter, what changes do you need to make to help you better experience God through the Bible?

2. Are your connections with people at Northside helping you to be more Christlike or do you just have friendships at church? What can you do to improve the depth of the relationships you have at church?

3. What kind of heart are your bringing to worship each week? What will help you worship more authentically?

4. Reflect on the nature of most of your prayers over the last month or so. How well do they reflect the model of prayer where we primarily desire for God’s will to be done on earth as it is heaven? What would help you have a more God-centered prayer life?
