Discussion Questions

1. Share a recent dispute or argument you had where you felt entirely justified.

2. Read Phil 2:15. Underline the adjectives. Consider what is at stake if we continue to complain and argue.

3. Why do you think it has become socially acceptable to complain about others in their absence? How might you combat this in your home, work, school, groups etc.?

4. Read Phil. 2:16a. What do you think Paul means when he says “holding fast”? How do we practically do that?

5. Consider asking someone to help you self-reflect. Do you grumble and complain often? Are you argumentative? Do you typically view things with a positive lens or negative? Ask them for prayer and help.
