What are some helpful steps when troubleshooting something that is not working? What do you expect to see flow from someone who is connected to Jesus as their power source? What evidence would move you to “troubleshoot” your love? What gifts do you have from God and how are you using them? What are some examples of the valuable contributions others make that are different from your own? How do you view yourself and others differently as a result of God’s grace in your life? How has Jesus widened your circle of care? In what way? Who has felt the impact of God’s grace at work in you? Who has not gotten “what they deserve” as an overflow of God’s love at work in and through you? What is the most impacting thing you could do to change the world right now?
