LIFE GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
What is one new year habit or goal you’ve started enthusiastically in the past but struggled to sustain?
READ HEBREWS 12:1-2
Which person from Hebrews 11–or from church history or your own life–most encourages you to endure in the faith? Why/how does their faith speak to the race you have been called to run?
Where do you feel most tempted to wish that God had given you a different race right now? What might it look like to accept, by faith, the course he has set before you instead of resisting it?
What is one good thing or neutral thing in your life that may be dulling your affection for Jesus or slowing your endurance? What would it look like to lay that aside this week?
When endurance feels hardest, what does it look like practically to “look to Jesus”?
