Discipleship Guide & Reflection Questions

Week 4

This week, we consider what lies beneath the surface of our lives. As we look at Jesus’ ministry, we see how he constantly met people and engaged their deepest need. While he healed the sick, and fed the multitudes, he reminded people that their deepest need could only be met by a relationship with him through faith. Take time this week to consider: what is your deepest need? How is Jesus seeking to meet you in that need this week? Spend some extra time to still your soul and hear from the Lord.
