Life Group Questions
When thinking about the rapture, what thoughts or emotions come to you? Hope, happiness, dread, confusion, etc.? Why?
Pastor Kris encouraged us to measure our lives with the end in mind:
- Is there anything in your life, good or bad, that needs to be measured with the end in mind?
- What are things that typically derail your perspective?
- How could keeping the end in mind give you a different perspective about your life now?
Pastor Kris encouraged us to live with the end in mind as well. God lovingly reminds us over and over again in the Bible to be ready. He wants us to live as if He will come at any moment:
- With the end in mind, is there something in your life that needs to be adjusted? Do you need to live differently in some way?
- With the end in mind, is there a refocus of some kind that needs to happen?
- Are you focused on God’s definition of success?
- Are you focused on others?
When it comes to things like the end, or the rapture, what are some things you can do so that the temporary doesn’t always take over the eternal?
