Intro
After pondering the Scripture passage for this week's worship gathering, the staff of Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community put together this spiritual formation kit for groups and individuals to use.
We hope that it will encourage transformation as you encounter God's voice in fresh ways through the Bible; connection as you talk and pray together; and interaction as the sermons become less of a Sunday morning monologue and more of a week-long community conversation.

| Describe a time that you had a disagreement with someone. What happened?
What do you wish had happened? What could the other person have done to make it better? What could you have done to make it better?
How did you feel leaving the argument? What do you usually do when you don't agree with someone? Do you confront them or avoid the subject or something else entirely?
