Story & Stretch
The Story: God Covenants with the World - Genesis 10-12:7
Main Point: God adapts.
I Wonder Statement: I wonder if you need to adapt, or change, how you're doing something right now in order to succeed...
Discussion Questions:
- What does it mean to adapt?
- How have you adapted in the past? What did you change in your life or help someone else change to make something better?
- What ideas do you have to adapt something right now in your life? What do you hope that change will improve?
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for setting an example for us to adapt when something is not working. Help me change my approach when I need to in order to succeed.
Music: Nothing Ever (Could Separate Us) - check out a fun recording and dance moves from the composer, Ben Calhoun, of the band Citizen's Way HERE.

What did it look like, sound like, or feel like when you pictured yourself being your best Self?
