This week’s message was entitled “Partners in the Gospel”. We heard from Colossians 1:1-8 how the gospel is a gift from God and how God has given the ministry of the gospel to each of us. In order to better understand and apply the truths of this passage, let us consider these questions:
1. The gospel bears fruit. How has the gospel borne fruit in your life?
2. As Christians, we have a hope that is laid up in heaven for us. How is this true?
3. Do you tend to see the work of the gospel as something that certain Christians do (maybe pastors) or a ministry that God has called you to? Why?
4. What does it look like for you to be a minister of the gospel? How does this reflect your spiritual gifts?
5. Do you typically connect your giving with being given the ministry of the gospel? Why or why not?
6. Philippians 1:3-5 says, “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” How does your life demonstrate “partnership in the gospel”? How might you pursue this privilege to a greater measure?
Let’s take time this week to specifically give thanks to God for the gift of the gospel and the fruit that it has borne in our lives and in the lives of those that we love.
