Icebreaker Questions

1. When you think about heaven - what things come to mind?  What are you most looking forward to?  What uncertainties or questions do you have? 

2. Do you ever struggle to believe that your life has purpose?  If so, why?  What do you need to remind yourself of in order to take hold of your God-given purpose?

Diving Deeper

1. Read Philippians 1:22.  What is "fruitful labor?"  What are some practical ways that you can pursue this sort of labor in your daily life?

2. Read Philippians 1:23.  What does Paul focus on when thinking about heaven and eternity?  Do you agree with him that heaven is better than life?  How should that change the way you live?

3. Read Philippians 1:24-26.  What does Paul see as his purpose on earth?  Again - what are some practical ways you can emulate Paul?

Life Application Questions

1. If someone came up and asked you, "What is the purpose of life?" how would you respond?  What truths can you take from our text and relay to others?  What are you doing in your life to live out this purpose?

2. So much of Paul's focus is on how he can promote progress and joy in faith for others.  Who are some people that God has placed in your life that need you to pursue and love?
