REFLECTION QUESTIONS
1. Discuss your experience with the journal this week. Has anything been helpful or stayed with you?
2. Discuss the Thomas Merton quote- “There is only one problem on which all my existence, my peace, my happiness depend: to discover myself in discovering God. If I find Him I will find myself and if I find my true self I will find Him.” How are these two discoveries intertwined?
3. What has stayed with you from the sermon- either encouraging, confusing, or thought provoking?
4. What would be someone’s experience who believes they have been made right with God and are sent as peacemakers, but have neglected finding inner peace? What happens when you skip that step?
5. Discuss 2 Corinthians 3:16-18. What is the goal of Jesus’ Spirit as found in these verses?
6. What particularly robs you of inner peace?
7. What is a spiritual practice or habit that might increase your inner peace?
