Phillipians 4:4-9

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Questions:
  • What does it mean to rejoice in the Lord? What things in your life can rob you of joy? 
  • Do you think the church or christians have a reputation of “reasonableness” that is known to everyone? Why does this matter? How can we strive to make this more true of us? 
  • What is your natural response when you are feeling anxious? How does this passage direct us to respond to our anxiety? 
  • What does it mean for the peace of God to guard our hearts and minds? 
  • The final verse of the passage instructs us on what our thoughts are to dwell on. How do we do this practically? How can we encourage one another in these things?
