FOR DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION
- If you could be a background character or extra in any TV show, what would it be, and why?
- Why is it helpful to remember that we're not the main character in God's story?
- What about our life in Christian community can magnify our shortcomings? How can that become a beneficial experience?
- Are you more inclined towards the cultural pull of extravagant living or the cultural pull of burying in busyness? What can you do to fight that pull?
- What is one thing you can do to connect with God's heart this week to share in the Lord's joy? 
- What is God saying to you through today's scripture?
