Application Questions:
1.What is one observation you found helpful from this week's sermon? Why?
2.Read Psalm 37:1-11. How does this passage help you see the benefits of faithfully following God despite the culture's success without God? In what ways do you need to apply Psalm 37 practically?
3. Read Psalm 112:1, Luke 11:28, & Matthew 7:24–25. How does following God's Will lead someone to kingdom happiness? What specific circumstances do you need to address according to God's Word, knowing it will be inconvenient in the short term but will bring long-term kingdom happiness?
4.Read Revelation 3:10-11 & Hebrews 10:36. How do passages like these help you to persevere in submitting to God's Word instead of your wisdom, especially in times of high stress?
5. Read Hebrews 10:24-25 & 1 Thessalonians 5:11. Why is being deeply connected in the community of believers (the local church) critical for you to persevere in meekness? What changes do you need to make to prioritize the community at this church?
6. Read Romans 8:18-23 & 2 Corinthians 4:16–18. Why is a clear focus on the coming of God's perfect kingdom necessary for you to continually submit to God's Will?
7. Read Revelation 21:1-4 & Revelation 22:1-5. Share some of the joy you have, knowing that this is the future for all believers in Jesus Christ. What specific ways can you live differently with the future in mind?
