Making Margins: Love to Grow, part 2
Pastor Tom Morris, October 3, 2010
Below, you'll find questions for group discussion and a spiritual practice to help deepen this truth in your life.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. Why is failing to take a sabbath a statement of distrust? (It says God can’t take care of me unless I work ALL the time. It says enough isn’t enough).
2. Is worry rewarded in our society? How?
3a. What are your top 3 sources of anxiety? Read Matt 6:26 to the end of the section. Why are we told not to worry?
3b. What would need to change for you to cease being anxious (Note what is possible for you to change and what is not.)
4. How are faith and worry like each other? (Both are dwelling on the future. One envisions the preferable God-involved possible outcome; whereas worry anticipates the worst scenario outcome.)
5. Read Phil 4:10-13. What was Paul’s secret of contentment?
6. TAKE A RISK. Break into 2’s and tell your number one anxiety. Pray for each other. Swap phone numbers and check in on your friend this week.
