Six Questions to help shape The Future

We started a new teaching series yesterday at Hub City Church called The Future.

The future is unpredictable and unknowable, but it is shapable. The way we shape the future is with the present. 

I shared the following six questions and challenged people to take some time and answer these questions this week. (A quick disclaimer: I learned these questions from David Platt and thought they were so good that they should be reshared.)

  1. How will I fill my mind with truth? This has to do with Bible reading, meditation and memorization.
  2. How will I fuel my affections for God? You were created to have a love relationship with God. Here are some sub questions to ask:
    • How will I worship?
    • How will I pray?
    • How will I fast?
    • How will I give?
    • How will I live, work, play, eat, and drink to the glory of God?
  3. How will I share God's love as a witness in the world?
  4. How will I show God's love as a member of a church?
  5. How will I spread Jesus' name and fame around the world? This involves praying, giving and going.
  6. How will I disciple a few people in 2015?
Spend some time working through these questions this week. The answers you discover and put into practice will shape your future.
