Wednesday [BE>DO]:
Think about this week’s questions for group discussion.
- How does this week’s passage/message help us understand what gospel confidence looks like for a believer living in exile? How does that confidence shape how we live in and react to the culture around us? How is your gospel confidence in light of what you’ve learned?
- Two vitally important aspects of walking with the Lord as an exile is abiding in the Word and consistent confession. How are you implementing these two aspects in your own life? Is it time for a renewed commitment in these areas?
- In light of Sunday’s message, can you identify anything in your own life that prevents you from treasuring Christ supremely? Can you say that Jesus is getting the best of your focus, attention, and affections? What stands in the way of that?

Wednesday [BE>DO]:

- How did this week’s passage and message help you understand what your posture toward the surrounding culture should look like? What are you compelled to do in response?
- Why is it important to not only have a solid understanding of the gospel, but also a solid understanding of the audience (whether 1 person or more) when attempting to share the message of the gospel with them?

- How should God’s sovereignty fill us with confidence to take steps forward, even if we lack the understanding or assurance we desire? Why is daily walking with him so important to having this confidence? Why is meaningful membership important?

Wednesday [BE>DO]:
Think about this week’s questions for group discussion.
1. Read Philippians 4:12-13 together again. What obstacles exist in your life that prevent you from being as confident as Paul is in this exertion? Paul says he has learned this…in what ways are you disciplining yourself in this way?
2. In what unique ways are Christians increasingly called to ’suffer’ in gospel work in our own culture? In what ways do our hearts need to be conditioned to suffer in this way? 3. What is one commitment you can make in order to grow in “grace-enabled endurance?” How do we pursue this?
