Applying God's Word to Life Describe a significant trip that you really enjoyed. Who was going where for what purpose and how did they get there? Describe how the boundaries of your travel experiences expanded as you grew up? Where did you start? When did you first venture beyond the familiar? Where did you go from there? How big is the map for you now? What words best describe Jesus that can also be used to describe his disciples? What do you learn about who is valuable, and how valuable they are, from the life of Jesus? How did Jesus’ mission and methods embody the prophetic description of God’s servant that we read about in Isaiah 42? How well did Jesus’ mission and methods transfer to his early disciples? How about his current disciples? What are the “why factors” that help you keep on keeping on for Jesus? What do you see in yourself that is not in keeping with Jesus’ ministry, method and mission right now? What do you see in “the church” that is not in keeping with Jesus’ ministry, method, and mission right now? How will your life change as a result of seeing and hearing Jesus today?
