Discussion Questions
Before questions, attempt to give the group a bit of a summary of the main points of the sermon and then choose a few questions that fit your group’s needs and style. We don’t intend for you to use all of these. Three to five questions may be a good number.
- Begin by reading Philippians 3:7-16 aloud, taking turns reading the passages.
- Pray over the group before beginning discussion.
- Where have you moved in this past year that’s caused you to look more like Jesus?
- Where is the Holy Spirit calling you to move and you’re resisting?
- Where should the church be moving today?
- Is your answer on this influenced by scripture, the culture, or both?
- Pastor Richard said that movement is risky. In what ways might the movement you mentioned be risky?
- Where should the church be acting as guardians?
- Is your answer on this influenced by scripture, the culture, or both?
- How might staying the same be just as risky as moving?
