Here are some reflection questions for you, your family, C-groups or friends to help you process, discuss and apply this Sundays message.​​

​

• How do you see the difference between being 'full' and being 'fed' playing out in your own life, both physically and spiritually?

• Pastor Chris mentioned that 'every temptation is really an invitation to feed the wrong appetite.' Can you think of a recent temptation you faced and identify what underlying hunger or desire it was trying to satisfy?

• Looking at the story of Esau trading his birthright for stew, what are some modern-day 'bowls of stew' that people trade their God-given purposes for?

• The sermon described hedonism as making the satisfaction of desires the highest priority in life. How do you see this philosophy influencing our culture today?

• Jesus said 'Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.' How would you describe what it looks like to hunger for righteousness in practical, everyday terms?

• What's the difference between having desires and being ruled by desires? How can we tell when we've crossed that line?

• The pastor suggested a 30-day fast from our strongest earthly appetite. What would be the most challenging thing for you to fast from, and why?

• How can fasting help us distinguish between what we want and what we actually need?
