The Ten-Year Vision: By 2031, we will be a network of 5000 peacemakers, headquartered at 5420 N.

Thought Provoking Questions for Groups or Personal Reflection
1. Can you describe a circumstance where you felt in over your head? Did that feeling ever turn destructive and start making you feel like a failure?
2. Why do you think Moses thought he had to carry the burden of leadership alone?
3. How do you think the 72 Elders responded to Moses’s invitation for help? How do you think you would have responded?
4. Why do you think God gives out visions so big that no one person can carry the accompanying burden alone?
5. What talents do you have that could help carry the burden at Crossroads Church?
