Discussion Questions

1. In Matthew 28, Jesus calls them disciples before He commissions them. We see that in the gospel, identity comes before activity. Where in your life are you still trying to earn a name that God has already given you by grace?

2. Jesus says all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. Name one specific area where you still act as if you hold authority. What is it about that specific area that makes you want to wrestle away control from the Lord?

3. Colossians 1:28-29 says the ultimate goal in life for a believer is maturity in Christ, not money, influence, success, or power. In this season, if you measured your walk with Jesus the way Paul measures it, how are you actually doing?

4. In the New Testament, we learn that we are called to labor with the energy that Christ powerfully works in within us. Where are you running on your own strength right now? Why?

5. Ephesians 4:11-12 says the leadership of the church equips the membership of the church to do the work of ministry. In this season, are you playing your assigned role at Mission Church by doing the work of the ministry? If not, what is keeping you from faithfully stewarding that role?
