4)      Have you ever wrestled/struggled with God? What came of it?

5)      John 1:51 (NIV84) He then added, “I tell you the truth, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” Jesus often references the Old Testament. What is Jesus saying here?

6)      Where do you see symptoms of a fatherless society?
