FOCUS TEXT
"And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. " Matthew 24:6 (ESV)
RECALIBRATE
1. How do we recognize that it’s not yet the end, but the beginning of the end, and not seek to be as okay and comfortable as possible for now?
2. How do we not become used to this space while we have to live through it? How do we stay vigilant without being paralyzed by stress and anxiety?
3. If blessings don’t equate to easy, and they rarely turn out as we expect, why do we pray for blessings?
4. How can we redefine what blessings really mean in our lives?
5. How do our cultural contexts play into the reading of apocalyptic scripture?
