 The Power of Endurance
1. Think of someone who has been consistent and enduring during your life and sharesomething about that person that means something special to you. They don't have to
be either in the bible or even a Christian!
2. Do you feel that your contribution every day is enough or do you feel that Paul was insome way more special to Christ than you are because this is not the way Christ sees
things.
3. What do you think a world following God's will would look like? I don't mean with regardto worship or prayer but just everyday life; what would our town look like and howwould people treat each other differently? Try to talk about some practical examples.
4. I think that the Bible has practical answers for how things are meant to be. The biblehas commentary on the present financial crisis and the rules around lending andborrowing. I think it is important to be able to share opinion, based on the bible, and for
non-christians to be able to do that without mentioning it is from the bible. Saying it is
from the bible is not necessary because we are already confident that these are theways of God so there is nothing to worry about. Once people see those ways in actionand realise how superb they are, they will want to worship Him.
Pray for a while and then consider how we may have a greater influence on thosearound us.
How can we share the full message of the kingdom, especially with non-believers,
without using Christian jargon or Christian language?
How can we make sure our opinions are truly that of God and not skewed by our ownculture?
