Reflect on What You’ve Heard
- There is so much to be grateful for, what are you most thankful for today?
- What would you say is the biggest challenge we face in our culture today? If you are comfortable, share one personal challenge you are wrestling with right now.
- What is your understanding of resilience and why is it so important today?
- Read Philippians 4:10-13; 19… How might you describe resilience based on this scripture? How might this be different from what our culture might teach?
- This week’s message emphasized three primary ways we can grow in Jesus and resilience: 1) resilience is imparted and can be learned, 2) resilience is letting go – giving our burdens to Jesus, and 3) Resilience is receiving Jesus’ peace and healing. Which speaks most clearly to you today?
- What area of challenge in your life, family or work do you most need these words? Take some time to share these and pray for each other.
