Mental worship…
1. What is your theology of disagreement?
2. What do your prayers reveal you to really believe about God?
3. Do you really need God to actually answer your prayers or do you
believe that if given enough time you would figure it out on your own?
4. Is there one choice you could make today that would make you more
consequential?
5. What do you enjoy about God and what does He enjoy about you?
6. What questions do you have from what you heard this morning?
