Following God leads us to: the unpopular path. the unlikely person. 3) the undesirable position. Applying God's Word to Life Give an example where your instincts would lead you to make the wrong choice? What consequences would follow? What are some of the ways that God’s leadings are the opposite of what a normal person would naturally choose? What is unique about the narrow path Jesus offers as compared to all the alternative paths we are offered? As you consider biblical history, what makes each of the people God chose to use seem an unlikely pick compared to human wisdom? Who has God used to accomplish his work that surprised you the most? Describe the people we are most likely to choose as a result of socialization within our American culture. How is Jesus’ leadership model different than what was modeled in his world and what we value in our day? What are some of the various roles and realms in which we could live out Jesus’ calling regarding how to lead well? What current choices are you wrestling with? How could you discern which choices Jesus would want you to make? Which do think is best — follow Jesus’ way, or go your own way? Why? Announcements Next Sunday Glenwood Service is Meeting in the Beautiful New Auditorium: Two changes as we meet in the new auditorium: 1. we plan to use the seats in the center section only in order to maintain the close feel we value and have enjoyed in the gym. 2. Central Square is not allowing food and beverages in the auditorium, since this was over a million dollar renovation and they want it to look nice for years to come. We will still have our beverage cart available for use before and after the service during fellowship in the hall.
