Discussion Questions

1. What types of “work” have you really enjoyed in your life? How is that work a reflection of God’s good design for work?

2. How can we live in the tension of “not being dependent on others” while also cultivating a culture where we “bear one another’s burdens”? What happens if we go to one ditch or the other?

3. How does the earthly life and ministry of Jesus serve as the perfect example for our hard work? How is Jesus working for us still today as our high priest?

4. What does it mean that Jesus is working through us? How does this truth help avoid the trap of working to “earn” God’s love or acceptance?

Prayer Points

1. Pray that God would help us as individuals to have inspiration for our work as worship.

2. Pray that we would truly love the church family through our quiet, hard work.

3. Pray for God to make himself known to outsiders through our quiet, hard work.
