3. Alan talked about a “Less is More” theme throughout the Bible. Why does God seem to delight in the little things or the unlikely people to do his bidding?

4. What are some practical things we can do to add a little to our individual growth this coming year?

5. What are some practical things we can do to add a little to our family's growth this coming year?

6. Is the “two or three principle” Alan talked about [Small groups of 2 Couples, 2 Brothers or 2 Sisters meeting with the goal of strengthening and adding a 3rd non-WFR member] a practical, doable thing?

7. What are some difficulties of committing to trying this principle this year? What are the possibilities? [Please discuss ideas of how this might work!]

PRAYER

Please pray for Mustard Seeds to be planted in us and our WFR church this year!

Please remember that our enemy is planting his own seeds and has his heart set on “sinking your ship” sometime in the future. Pray for protection & action!
