Gospel Shaped Priorities

Feb 15, 2026 • Dr. Ben Day, Senior Pastor

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

1. What kinds of “foolish controversies” or distractions are most likely to pull you away from gospel priorities? How can you intentionally guard your heart and speech to promote unity rather than division?

2. Do Paul’s instructions in verses 10 and 11 sound harsh to you? Why are they necessary? What would it look like for a church to live out these instructions in a Christlike way?

3. In what ways are you tempted to approach church primarily as a consumer rather than a contributor? What is one concrete step you could take to shift toward being devoted to good works and serving others in the church or community?

4. Paul highlights meeting “cases of urgent need.” Who is one person or situation God may be placing in front of you right now that needs care, generosity, or practical help? What specific action can you take this week to respond in a gospel-shaped way?
