—Godly Living—

  1. Opening Question:

Have you ever had to dress for a job before you actually had it?

2. What Does this Teach Us About God?

3. What Does this Teach Us About People?

• Main Point:

You don't have to try to become a new person — you just have to put on the one you already are in Christ! You just need to believe what is true and live from that identity.

• Discovery Questions:

What does Paul tell the people to "set their minds on" — and what does he tell them to stop focusing on? What is the contrast? What role does gratitude play in this passage?
