1. Jeremiah objected to God's call by saying he was too young and could not speak well, yet God responded by commanding him not to be afraid — in what areas of your life have you used personal limitations as a reason to avoid obeying what you believe God is calling you to do?

2. Bro. Neil compared a person living without their God-given purpose to a fish placed on grass — in what ways have you experienced that sense of being out of your proper environment when you have drifted from living on mission for God?

3. God told Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1 that He knew him before he was formed in the womb, suggesting that your identity and purpose predate your own awareness of them — how does this truth change the way you view your value and the value of others, including the unborn?

4. Bro. Neil points out that Jeremiah preached an unpopular message of judgment to his own people for forty years without receiving recognition or applause — what does this reveal about how we should measure faithfulness, and how does that differ from how our culture measures success?

5. 1 John 4:18 teaches that perfect love drives out fear, yet fear is described as one of the most paralyzing emotions we face when it comes to sharing our faith — how does a deeper understanding of God's love practically help you overcome the fear of telling others about Jesus?

6. Bro. Neil acknowledged that sharing one's faith is difficult and uncomfortable, and suggested that perhaps only a handful of people in the congregation had shared their faith that week — what specific obstacles keep you from sharing the gospel, and what would it look like to address those obstacles this week?
