Reflect And Refocus

SERMON DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Read John 4:36. We are all a part of Christ's story as we plant seeds in God's Kingdom. God multiplies the seeds that we sew. Encourage each other with stories of how God has blessed you for seed that you have sewn (financial or otherwise).

2. Read Philippians 3:7-11. What we need more than anything is to know Christ the the power that raised Him from the dead. How can we change our mindset and begin to seek Christ before anything else?

3. Read Matthew 6:33 & Philippians 3:10. How do we actually leave our old life and mindsets behind? What does it mean to suffer with Christ and to experience His power? Does this mean we must actually die? Discuss as a group.

4. Read Philippians 3:14-15. It's important for us to move past what is behind us. We cannot receive the reward that God has for us if we are constantly looking behind us. How can we focus on the prize God has for us and our future? What is the most difficult part about this? What is keeping you from focusing on the future? Discuss.
