Church Wide Prayer Request: Thank God for seasons of rest and renewal. Pray for the kids of MVC who are on spring break this week. Pray for our community to seek ultimate rest and renewal in Jesus.

This Week’s Passage: Colossians 1:24-2:5

Get This: This life’s most worthy longings, highest callings, and only meaningful suffering is found in Jesus!

Discussion Questions

As we think about how the reality of Jesus’ presence and the wisdom of His example can shape our lives, think about the categories discussed in the sermon– Suffering, Calling, and Longings.

When was the last time you felt purpose in your suffering? What about in your ambitions, goals, or dreams?

When was the last time you felt close to Jesus? Was it in your suffering? What about in your ambitions? In your longings?

Personal Reflection Questions

Where are you suffering right now? What are your current ambitions? What are your deepest longings?

How are any or all of these things being touched by the reality of Jesus’ presence and the wisdom of Jesus’ example?
