Philippians 1.6 reminds us that God is still at work in us.
Discussion Question: In what area of your life do you sense God has been shaping your character this year (e.g. patience, humility, trust, perseverance)?
3. Honest Self-Examination – What Needs to Change?
Hebrews 12.1 talks about things that ‘hinder’ us, not only sins.
