On Mission
-
I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
Reflection Questions:
What areas of your life are you currently missing the mission? Pray about clear next steps for allowing the Spirit to shape these areas in your life.
Review your ‘gratitude list’… As a reminder, we are all encouraged to create a list of big and small things that we’re grateful for. By reviewing this list, we can become more joyful people.
Small Group Questions:
Create your own definitions for ‘Gospel’ and ‘Partnership’. How do these two terms interact with each other? How can you live them out?
Have a few people share about when the gospel first came alive to them.
