Questions for the Community

Personal Reflection  

1. How are you doing? Do you have language and ways to gauge this in your life? If you don’t already…take time to take inventory on a regular basis.
2. Suppose God were to speak to you in a vision. “Do not be afraid any longer but go on…” (finish that sentence)

Group Discussion

3. What is it from the chapter, sermon, or life this week that is speaking loudest to you? Share anything from the personal reflection questions as appropriate.
4. God provides for his work. Share a PAST experience of this (use the 3 points as categories God provides with) and share a FORWARD looking need you sense right now.
5. Paul worked hard and had help. How hard do you work and how far do you go to help people know or grow up in Jesus? 
6. How do you ensure you aren’t working hard for God in the flesh (works righteousness) NOR are being lazy about the mission (lacking zeal)?

Plan of Action

7. Make a list of the help you have and the help you need. Consider letting your teammates know how important they are to you. Commit your needs to God. 
8. Meditate on Colossians 1:28-29 this week. Ask God to keep this a reality in the midst of your daily life.
