Discussion Questions:

The descendants of Asher were:

1.) Heads of families: Pastor Joe said that if we are going to lead well and be headed in the right direction, we need to ask: where am I, where am I going, and what will it take to get there? Ask yourselves these questions and share with your group.

2.) Choice Men: What grabs your attention and keeps you from engaging your God, your family, and/or your call?

3.) Brave Warriors: Men of valor means a force of resources, wealth and virtue. Pastor Joe had an observation that the Godly man is loaded! Similarly, the prophetic word this morning about the prodigal son and his brother was that everything He (God) has is ours. Read Psalm 23 together. Take time to think about and share together what God has provided for you and how you can live according to his provision.
