Week 7  ~ Philippians 4 

Dear Sisters,

This week, Betty reviewed the end of chapter 3 and the beginning of chapter 4.  As Christians we are called to have the mind of Christ and that God is calling us to unity in Christ. She then goes on to remind us that in Philippians 4: 4-7, we are to "Rejoice in the Lord, always!" and asked if we know any Christians that are really joyful. We pray that this message stirs your heart and mind and draws you closer to the Lord!

questions:

1. Either in the morning, at night or both, write down 5 things you are thankful for. 

2. Let your gentleness be evident to all! What is your gentleness rating? 

3. What are you anxious about? How does your anxiety effect your daily life? How do you try to cope? Does anything in particular trigger your anxiety?

4. Do you see things as "I can't do anything because God is control or do you want to take control away from God?

    In what ways? 

Have a wonderful week ladies! 

Week 6 ~ Philippians 3

This week we dive into Philippians 3, where Paul warns us, loves us and encourages us to keep our eye on the prize!

Here is the link for Week 6:

Questions for the week: 

1. Why do you think Paul considered Judaizing such a serious problem?

2. What are some examples of how you have replaced faith with law (works) in your everyday life?

3. Were you ever tempted to trust in your "resume" instead of Christ's grace?

4 What danger do you see in putting too much reliance on religious "credentials" or " being good"?

5. What is something that you thought mattered that you need to let go of, or as Paul said, forget?

6. What is one practical thing that you can do in order to know Christ more? 

I pray this chapter touches your heart and helps keep your eyes on Christ! 

Blessings.

10. Paul continues rejoicing knowing people are praying for him

11.  Paul writes he still has struggles
