For Further Discussion & Application:

How would you define Christian maturity? What does Paul say is the motivation for pursuing maturity?

What is sanctification? What is our role in sanctification? What does the Holy Spirit do?

What are some short-term goals you can set to help you press on to the ultimate goal?

How does Paul describe or define a Christian in Philippians 3? How does he describe a non-Christian?

Sunday Lunch Question:

Paul wants us to imitate him and others who walk in a manner worthy of the Gospel. Who are your role models in the faith? Who are you a role model for— and what have you been modeling for them lately?
