Express that depth of need in your own words. • Talk about the things and people that you put a lot of trust/confidence in. Are there ways that you need to reconfigure your trust to have your confidence & identity ONLY in Christ? • Jesus’ sympathy with our weakness & temptation does NOT mean that he’s ok with us sinning. Why does Jesus pay the penalty for sin but still desire holiness in his people? Explain. • How can we learn to draw near to God in our prayers, scripture reading, and fellowship with God’s people instead of being self-focused? Share too what helps you approach God with both reverent fear and grateful confidence.
