WELCOME TO CHURCH: Running to Win

TOGETHER GROUP QUESTIONSRead 1 Cor. 9:24-27. In what areas of your spiritual life do you feel like you're coasting instead of running with purpose? What’s one specific step you can take this week to pursue God more intentionally? Which area of your life- time, thoughts, actions, or speech- needs more spiritual discipline? (Pick just one to share) What has made that area hard to surrender to God? What is one thing in your life currently distracting you from pursuing Christ wholeheartedly? How can you replace that distraction with something that draws you closer to God? Integrity is about who you are when no one is watching. What practices help you guard your character? Are there any blind spots God might be calling you to address? Read Hebrews 12:1-2. How does keeping your eyes on Jesus- the “author and perfecter of our faith”- help you endure spiritual fatigue or discouragement? What helps you stay motivated when the race feels long? If your spiritual life were a race today, what kind of runner would you be- disciplined and focused, distracted and tired, or somewhere in between? How can this group support you in your spiritual race this week?
