Sermon Application Questions
Take Notes Here
Ice Breaker: Where have you experienced Joy even in the midst of suffering?
Big Idea: Because Christ is our life and our future is secure, we can live with joy, courage, unity, and purpose no matter what we face.
Read Philippians 1:19-30
- In Verse 21 Paul says, “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” What is Paul saying and what does this tell you about his relationship with Jesus?
- What do you think that actually looks like in everyday life — not just spiritually, but practically?
- Verse 28 talks about not being frightened. Where do followers of Jesus today feel pressure to stay quiet or blend in?
- Paul urges believers to “stand firm in one spirit.” What helps a church or small group stay unified when life gets hard?
- Paul calls suffering a gift (v. 29). How could hardship actually deepen faith or strengthen our witness?
- What would change this week if you truly believed your life belongs to Christ and your future is secure in Him?
Prayer: Take a few minutes to share one area where you need courage or confidence to live for Christ this week, then pray for the person next to you.
