About This Series
A Better You

More than just succeeding and enjoying life, all of us share a deeper desire of becoming a better person. We don’t want to be controlled by our impulses and emotions. Instead, we want to have a positive impact on the people around us. Find out how the Christian faith gives us the resources to become the best version of ourselves.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

The world often equates love with fleeting emotions—something that comes and goes based on how we feel in the moment. But what happens when those feelings fade? Many of us experience frustration when our relationships fall short because this emotional definition of love is simply not enough to sustain them. In this message, we will explore the biblical perspective on love that endures beyond feelings. 

 

1. How have you been keeping records of wrongs that others have done against you, and how has this affected you emotionally and relationally?

 

2. In moments when loving others feels especially challenging, what helps you to stay committed? How can reflecting on Jesus’ perseverance in love inspire you to continue loving others?

 

3. Thinking of the individuals you mentioned in the first two questions, what are some practical ways you can choose to love them by actively doing what is good for them, even when it costs you?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Many people see joy as something elusive, tied to moments of success, comfort, or the absence of problems. But this kind of joy rarely lasts and can disappear just as quickly as it arrives. In this message, we will find out about a different kind of joy—one that does not rely on ideal circumstances and can withstand life’s unexpected challenges. 

 

1. Paul found joy in his suffering because it helped spread the gospel. Think about a recent hardship—how could God be using it for something bigger than you expected?

 

2. For Paul, dying meant being with Christ, which he saw as “better by far”. How does knowing this give you a different perspective on life’s difficulties and losses?

 

3. Paul chose to keep living because it meant he could serve others. Who are some people in your life could benefit from your service and support? What is one way you could make a difference in their lives?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Why do we lose patience so easily with the people around us? Whether it’s dealing with difficult personalities or unmet expectations, we often find ourselves frustrated and on edge. But is it really just that others are irritating, or is there something deeper driving our impatience? 

 

1. Who are the people you tend to get irritated by? What do you think is the root problem of your frustration and impatience?

 

2. How often do you find yourself criticising others for their shortcomings? What are some of your own flaws that you need to remember to be more patient with others?

 

3. How does being in a Christian community, where everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, challenge and grow your patience? How have you grown from walking alongside people who have different perspectives and move at different paces?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

We all want to be in control of our lives, yet time and again, we find ourselves giving in to emotions, impulses, or desires that lead us astray. Why is it that even when we know what’s best for us, we still find ourselves falling into the same habits and struggles? What if there’s a better way to think about self-control—one that goes beyond willpower and rules?

 

1. What is one area in your life where you often struggle with self-control? As you reflect, how much of your struggle is shaped by the influences around you—whether they are people, media, or habits? 

 

2. Beyond willpower, what deeper motivation could help you exercise greater self-control in that area? How might love for God and others reshape the way you approach this struggle? 

 

3. In your journey to cultivate self-control, what does it practically mean for you to actively walk with the Holy Spirit? How can your cell group provide encouragement and accountability in this process?
