Questions for Reflection
- In what ways do I seek healing and restoration in my life, and how do these desires influence my presence in church each Sunday?
- Do I come to church primarily to receive God’s grace, or do I also offer my praise and thanksgiving? How can I better balance these two aspects?
- How does viewing the church as both a place of nourishment and an altar for sacrifice change my perception of my role in the community?
- In what aspects of my life do I feel called to offer myself as a living sacrifice, and how can I incorporate this into my stewardship and participation in the church?
