Today we are exploring "How to Endure Trouble" from Acts 14:21-23. As followers of Christ we will face trouble, and we must know how to be strengthened to face our challenges, and how we can encourage others as well. The good news is that we can become spiritually strong – through being grounded in the word, encouraged by believers, and empowered through prayer.
Questions for Discussion: Here are some discussion questions you and your family can use:
Why is trouble an inescapable reality of a Christian's life? The world, the flesh, and the devil are three enemies we face in life as Christians. How do these three oppose us? Teaching the truth means to be grounded in the word of God. What are some key biblical doctrines that every Christian should be grounded in? What does it mean to "fill up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions?" Are there afflictions you are facing today on Christ's behalf? How can we encourage one another? How have you been encouraged by others in the Christian family? What role does prayer play in our Christian life? How can you pray more and more meaningfully than you currently do?
