LIFE GROUP QUESTIONS
Warm Up
1. Have you ever met someone whose life inspired you to live differently? What was it about them that stood out?
2. What’s something challenging you’ve done as part of a group or team? How did working together make a difference?
3. If someone asked you, “What makes life worth living?” how would you respond?
Know It
1. Read Philippians 1:27-30. Paul calls the Philippians to live a life “worthy of the gospel.” What do you think this looks like in daily life?
2. Paul mentions that suffering is part of following Christ (Phil. 1:29-30). How does this challenge our expectations about faith? How might suffering be a sign that we are part of God’s kingdom?
3. Read Philippians 2:1-4. What does it mean to be “one in spirit and of one mind”? How does this challenge a culture that prioritizes individualism?
Share It
1. Paul warns against selfish ambition and pride (Phil. 2:3). Can you share a time when pride or selfishness caused division in your relationships? How did humility bring healing?
2. In what ways have you experienced encouragement, comfort, or unity in Christ (Phil. 2:1-2)? How has that impacted your faith journey?
Live It
1. Paul encourages believers to “value others above yourselves” (Phil. 2:3). What’s one way you can practice selflessness in your daily life this week?
2. Think about someone in your life who needs to experience the love of Christ through humility and kindness. What is one intentional act you can do to show them the heart of Jesus?
