~ FROM THE MESSAGE ~
Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish. - Isaiah 46:10
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose (plan) that prevails. - Proverbs 19:21
God's will for you is to be holy. - 1 Thessalonians 4:3
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. - Romans 12:2
You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world. - Matthew 5:13-14
…love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind. - Matthew 22:37
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. - Genesis 50:20
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. - Psalm 32:8

~ COFFEE QUESTIONS ~
1. Garry said we often ask God, “What do you want from me?” when the deeper question is really, “What do you want for me?” How are those two questions different?
2. Which of the four aspects of God’s will - sovereign, moral, permissive, or personal - stood out to you the most, and why?
3. Romans 12:2 talks about being transformed instead of simply blending into culture. What are some practical ways followers of Jesus can be “salt and light” today?
4. Joseph’s story reminds us that God can redeem painful or confusing situations. Share a difficult season in your life that later made more sense when you looked back on it.
5. Read Psalm 32:8. It says that God will “counsel you with my loving eye on you.” What would it look like to trust that God is leading you with love instead of pressure or disappointment?
