Discussion

1. Have you ever been afraid of the dark? How much difference did a flashlight make?
2. Take a moment to review and summarize each of the four messages. How can God make His power perfect in your weakness?
3. The choir sang a powerful ballad: “Go, Tell It On The Mountain”
   Pray as a group about making that a lifestyle instead of just a song.
