Growth Questions
These questions are to help you apply each week’s message to your life and to help others do the same. Can being honest and vulnerable about your life be intimidating? Is it OK to struggle and have real questions? The answer to both questions is “Yes.” Growth Groups are meant to be safe places where we share our answers to the questions below in order to help people know, love & serve Jesus better, together. If you’re not in one, email Pastor David Mataya (david@redeemeraz.org), and ask about availability. If you missed this or any message, you can go to our website, iTunes, Spotify, Facebook page, or our YouTube channel to get caught up.

How was God’s Will differentiated in the sermon? If the Bible says that, “God desires something,” does that mean that thing is ALWAYS going to happen? How does this match with God’s Absolute Sovereignty?
What is one thing from 2 Peter 3:8–10 that God wants you to learn and practice?
