​For LifeNet groups and personal reflection
1. Tell your story of coveting. How did it start and grow? At the end what did you do, and how did you feel about it? And receiving help from the Spirit, think about its root, what you actually sought for.
2. Tell a story about your experience in which you felt Jesus was enough. How are you spending time with Jesus daily? What gets in the way? How will you make fellowship with Jesus deeper?
3. Make a list of what you’re thankful for. How can you use these blessings to bless God and others?
4. Make a list of how God has shaped you with specific gifts. How do you use these gifts from God for Him, and for others?
