Reflections on today’s sermon:

  • In my life right now, what kind of harmful thoughts and/or behaviors have I been engaging in that I can’t stop?
  • How has this addiction been straining my life with God and others?
  • How can I proactively introduce disciplines in my life to address this?
  • How can I encourage others to find freedom from their addictions?
