Icebreaker Questions

1. Have you ever had a moment when you realized you were more attached to something than you thought?

2. What’s one act of generosity someone showed you recently that really encouraged you?

Diving Deeper

1. Read Philippians 4:14-16.  Paul says, “It was kind of you to share my trouble.” What does it practically look like to “grab the other end” of someone’s burden in the church?

2. Read Philippians 4:17.  What are you currently investing your time, money, or energy into that will not matter in 100 years? What will matter?

3. Read Philippians 4:18-19.  Fear says, “hold tighter,” but faith says, “God is holding me.” Where do you feel fear tightening your grip?

Life Application Questions

1. What person, ministry, or opportunity has God placed in front of you that needs planting, not postponing?

2. What do you hold with a clenched fist—time, money, control, future, comfort?  What would it look like to open your hand and trust God with that area?
