Questions

After some fellowship and prayer, separate into men and women for gender specific
questions. Use this time to ask helpful questions, share struggles and encouragements, and to pray for one another. Pray that God would bless your discussion and strengthen your relationships in Christ.
 
Before answering the questions below, read Romans 8:18-22 and share something from
the sermon passage, the sermon, or corporate worship on Sunday that you were
especially helped or challenged by. Possible gender-specific questions to ask...
 
When it comes to glorifying God, how is your marriage/singleness? How is your parenting? Why?

When it comes to obeying God and fighting sin, what is especially difficult for you right now and why?

How have you been growing as a Christian lately? Have you been reading God’s word, faithful in prayer, and spending time with other Christians? What are some things you can do or stop doing to enjoy God more?

How have you been doing with proclaiming the gospel, making disciples, and treasuring
Christ above all? Why? What other things would you like to share? Close in prayer
 
How should we then live?
Spend time this week reflecting on “the glory that is to be revealed to us” and the impact that the work of Christ will have on creation. Share this good news with someone who is not a Christian.
