THE BIRTH OF A MOTHER

PHILIPPIANS 2:1-18
NOTES:

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

  1. Please read Philippians 2:1-4. What qualities mark a person who is imitating Christ? How could these qualities change your relationships? Which of these qualities will you ask God to help you grow in as you live in community with others?

  2. Please read Philippians 2:5-11. This is one of the most powerful passages about Jesus in the Bible! Write down the mindset that Christ had according to this passage. How does Christ’s example of humility challenge our
    self-centeredness? What practical steps can you take this week to live in humility in your relationships?

  3. Please read Philippians 2:12-18. When do you tend to grumble? What instructions did Paul give us about Christian living? How does shining like Christ draw people to Jesus? In what situations this week do you need to make a conscious effort to not complain or argue.
