Sunday Discussion
This is designed to be an extension of our Sunday worship service. Take a few minutes to have this conversation with those who watched the worship service with you. If you watched alone, give another friend who watched alone a call and have the conversation over the phone.
What’s an Easter tradition that you enjoy?
Share something that was said or sung in the worship service that resonated with you.
Take a moment to pray with and for the person with whom you just shared.
Daily Discussion
These are intended for conversation around the dinner table, in the car, or before bed at night (ideal for ages 7 and up). Start each conversation by reading the passage listed.
Monday: Philippians 3:10-11. What is one thing that has helped you know Christ more deeply recently?
Tuesday: Philippians 3:10-11. What does it mean to experience the power of His resurrection? How can that play out on a normal day in your life?
Wednesday: Philippians 3:10-11. What does it mean to share in His suffering? How can that play out in a normal day of your life?
Thursday: Philippians 3:10-11. To share in God’s suffering involves a resolve that the things of God are more precious than the things of this world. How does or doesn’t that resolve play out in your life?
Friday: Philippians 3:10-11. What is a habit that you can change or implement in life that could help you become a deeper Crucifixion and Resurrection Christian?
Saturday: What part of Philippians has struck you in your reading of it recently?
You can also use the above readings and questions as a personal, daily devotion and journaling prompt.
Weekly Discussion
Use these questions in discussion with spiritual friends. Spiritual friends are those who intentionally move into one another’s life to spur one another on in spiritual growth for the Glory of God.
1. How has God encouraged or comforted you recently?
2. What’s a way that you believe God has used you recently or wants to use you this week?
3. How has God challenged or corrected you recently?
Inwardly-focused Spiritual Practice
Daily spiritual discipline – Spend some time meditating on three passages this week: Philippians 3:10-11, Romans 6:3-11, and Ephesians 2:1-9.
Outline each of these passages in order to get more familiar with their basic message.
Using what you observe in these passages, create a two to four sentence paragraph in your own words that describes the Christian life.
Reflect on how that paragraph you’ve created does and doesn’t describe your life.
Lastly, talk with the Lord about one thing you can do to better align your life with that paragraph.
Outwardly-focused Spiritual Practice
Seek to love those God places in your path. Be intentional to share Jesus’s love with them through word and deed.
Go out of your way to show love to a person in need.
Step into one of our Shalom for the City initiatives and share Jesus with our local community.
