AMBASSADORS: CALM AND COURAGEOUS

1. Ambassadors don’t get to live in their home country.

2. Ambassadors embrace the reality that great obedience can create great opposition.

3. Ambassadors focus more on leveraging their suffering rather than seeking to avoid it.

4. Ambassadors know that the darkest times are opportunities to shine the brightest light.

5. Ambassadors remember that their mission is to serve their King, not for their King to serve them.

6. Ambassadors are bold and brave because their King is almighty and sovereign.

Discussion Questions

1. Share a funny or serious story when you felt very much out of place.

2. What is one of the traits of an ambassador that Quintin shared that most stood out to you?

3. How does the prosperity gospel (promising good health, comfortable lives, and little suffering) contradict and undermine the true gospel? How can this subtly seep into your own thinking?

4. What is one simple way you can become a better ambassador for the good news to those who are not yet followers of Jesus? How can you be a better ambassador to the One Life God has placed in your path?
