- A good challenging question I have heard goes, “What is true of your life that is only true because of the reality of Jesus’ resurrection and the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life?” How can we know the difference between our own strength and the supernatural strength provided by the Spirit?
- Do you have a sense from time to time of the pleasure or the displeasure of the Holy Spirit at some course of action that you are taking?
- How might we go about evaluating to see if there be any way in us that grieves the Spirit? How should we do this both individually and with other brothers or sisters?
