      1. What interested you the most from today’s sermon?
      2. “I see the darkness still – how could I not? But it has lost its fascination. I know it has been pierced.” – Erik Varden, ‘The Shattering of Loneliness’. Did the four stories (Psalms 18, the Dawn Treader, Celia’s story and John 20) remind you of any of your own experiences?
      3. Have you been given the holy spirit? How can you tell? What effect does it have on the dark and troubling things?
      4. What are the dark things in your heart that most trouble you?
      5. What do you make of the strong man passage?
