Review this week's message.

Key Thought:

"The best way to predict the future is to create it.” -Peter Drucker



Start talking. Find a conversation starter for your group.
  • Who is your favorite football team?
  • Are you an “attend games” person or a “host the game day party” person?


Start thinking. Ask a thoughtful question.
  • What “false images” do you need to tear down in your life? How can you “limit your access” to things that tempt you to stray from God's plan for you?
  • Practically, how can you remove these false images and get accountability so that real change can stick?


Start sharing. Choose questions that create openness.
  • Many people are disappointed because their "real" doesn't match their "ideal". Can you think of a time this happened in your life? How did you overcome the feeling of disappointment?
  • What image are you trying to uphold that you need to let go of?


Start praying. Be bold, and pray with power.

Jesus, thank you for the life you have given me. Please reveal things in my life that I am putting before You and give me the strength to tear those things down. I love You, Lord. Amen.



Start doing. Commit to a step and live it out this week.
