Discussion Questions:

1) Was there anything from the sermon or the passage that stuck out to you?

2) We often try to fill our emptiness with temporary things like achievements, entertainment, or relationships instead of allowing God to fill us. What are you most tempted to use as a substitute for God's presence in your life right now?

3) Following Jesus requires us to stop making excuses and simply walk the path we know is right. What excuse do you find yourself using most often to avoid doing what you know God is calling you to do?

4) When we're filled with God's Spirit, we naturally overflow into serving and submitting to others around us. Who in your life is most difficult for you to serve selflessly, and why?

5) True worship can happen even in our darkest moments, like Paul and Silas singing in prison. How do you typically respond when life circumstances don't match your expectations of what following God should look like?
