1. What things stuck out to you from this text? Is there anything in this text that challenges you?

3. In what ways is God calling you to “witness” to your family, your neighbor, your city, your nation, your world? With this in mind, what fruits of the Siprit (Galatians 5:22-24) seem glaringly missing from your life? This is probably a great place to start with regards to New Year’s resolutions.
