Rooted: A Study of Deeper Faith in Colossians, Part 4

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What was one thing from this message that was particularly helpful or insightful? What was one thing that was difficult to understand or put into practice?
  2. "All scripture is equally inspired, but not all scripture is equally inspiring." What does this mean? Do you find it to be true?
  3. Read and discuss Colossians 1:24-29. What themes do you note in these verses? What do these verses show us about Jesus?
  4. What does it mean to "rejoice in … sufferings" (v. 24)? What is Paul saying by this statement, and what does it mean for us today?
  5. How does suffering and affliction advance the gospel?
  6. What is the mystery Paul writes of in verse 26? How has this mystery become "tame" to us?
  7. What does Paul mean by presenting everyone as "mature in Christ" (v. 28)? On a scale from 1-10 (1 being very immature, 10 being very mature), how would you rate your own maturity in Christ? What are some criteria for Christian maturity?
  8. "Power comes with assignment." Have you found this to be true in your life? What examples from scripture can you think of that demonstrate this principle?
  9. Do you feel that you have a specific assignment from God? What is it?
  10. Spend some time praying through the verses in Colossians 1:24-29, thanking God for revealing the mystery of Christ, the hope of glory.
