Reflection & Discussion

Warm-up. What do you like best about autumn?

Read Philippians 1:12-26 God bless your study! 
1. How might your circumstances serve to advance the gospel?

2. Do you allow your trials to cause you to pout or to pray? How has God, the Great Alchemist, turned lead into gold in your life?

3. How does Joseph’s story relate to Paul’s situation in prison? What encouragement can we take from both of their stories?

4. Paul’s perspective on life and death in Christ was powerful. How can you share this and how would it affect your daily life?

5. How do others fill in the blank: “to live is ___________”? What are you living for? Why does this matter for you today?

6. How could Paul view death as “gain” and “far better”? Do you view death this way? Why / why not? Explain.

7. For what purpose did Paul say he would remain on the earth (v. 25)? How does this motivate you to serve others and how can you practically apply it this week?Hi
