1) Growing up, did you live by a body of water? Did you fish in it, swim, skim rocks, swing over it on a rope and drop in, or other? Describe it.

2) Not everyone grew up having those idyllic dreams Pastor George mentioned, and some didn’t come to faith until later in life. For you, did you have an early idea of life as sweet and safe, or was it always a dangerous place?

3) It is said we often bring our beautiful selves to present to God, but not our ugliness. What does that mean and is it the best way to pray?

4) This message describes how God works through our wounds and vulnerabilities to receive and share new Life -- it seems to be a form of wisdom. Why can’t wisdom like this be taught and thereby the wounds avoided?

5) What are practical ways we might become conduits of this Living Water to places around us?
