Discussion Questions

1. Are the people you associate with (e.g., friends, family, co-workers) generally peaceful and happy or not, and why? How do they affect you?

2. James 4:13-15 describes two polar opposite approaches to life. Compare and contrast these two approaches based on how you see men around you living their lives.

3. What is something that has failed to make you happy that you thought would do it for you? What is one thing has made you happy that surprised you? What's the message?

4. How can a greater focus on a life surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ bring you more true peace, happiness, and contentment?
