Unpacking Goodness and Sovereignty

I feel I kind of rushed through the chapters on God's goodness and God' sovereignty in the Chip Ingram study, so we're going to expand on these two attributes a bit more this Sunday. Some questions to consider:

Do I believe that when something "bad" happens that God is smacking me around? Do I have any areas of my life that I'm withholding from God's plans because I don't trust Him?

Do I believe, by either thought or action, that God is not in control of my life?

All of these questions lead to one last provacative question: Is my life in Christ one filled with great passion for seeing God glorified, or one of lifeless routine?
