On Top of the World

What if 2nd place was actually “first to win”?

Nobody likes to be unhappy, uncomfortable and in pain. Instead, we chase “Good Vibes” that only bring fleeting moments of happiness, fulfillment, or validation. In this series, we’ll look at the Good Vibes we all commonly chase, and participate in the season of Lent by observing Jesus’ example during his 40 days in the wilderness. 

Jesus invites us to experience the power of emptying ourselves of distracting vibes, and learning to rely on Him for all our deepest needs during this season of anticipating the significant gift of God’s loving sacrifice.

QUESTIONS FOR THE ROAD:

1. What are the ways you find yourself falling for the performance trap?

2. How do you actually view God’s Power? Take a moment to reflect and write out the ways you have personally experienced the power of God.

3. As a declaration of “I am in second place,” what action can you take reinforce that you believe it?
