Questions for the Community

Personal Reflection
1. Let your mind marvel at the grand sweep of creation and history. Set your affections on the Creator who not only is gracious to get things started but also to sustain and see it through.
2. What is your deepest static (distraction) in life right now?
3. What has kept you static (stuck) in your walk with Jesus?

Group Discussion
4. What most often gets you moving? Can you name your motivations in life? Is there something different that you WISH would get you moving more?
5. Re-read Phil. 3:12-14 and put Paul’s motivation in your own words.
6. Share with your group some of your findings from the “personal reflection” part of these CG questions. Share as you feel comfortable but also stretch yourself as you strive ahead to ‘get moving’!
7. Why is NOW such an important time to ‘forget what lies behind and stain forward to what lies ahead’ (vs. 13)? Is there some kind of urgency to do the extra effort required to breakaway from what your normal is?

Plan of Action
8. Jesus I want to keep in step with you. Help me not to run ahead or lag behind. Teach me the difference between activity and progress. Thank you for your patient love for me and for your Spirit who gives me the energy and desire to move in your direction. Today I choose to cooperate with your transforming work in my life.
