Here are five discussion questions for Pastor Jason Grate's sermon "Descending into Greatness" from Philippians 2:

1. In moments of crisis, like the fisherman stranded out in the Gulf of Mexico, what are some of the thoughts and reflections that might arise about life's priorities and values? How does this compare to our everyday concerns?
2. Philippians 2 encourages unity and selflessness. How can we practically apply the idea of "valuing others above ourselves" in our community and daily life?
3. Pastor Jason emphasized the dangers of selfish ambition and vain conceit. In what ways do we sometimes fall into these traps, and how can we shift our focus toward humility and service?
4. The metaphor of the Pando aspen trees shows the strength of unity. How can we, as a church, embody this interconnectedness to support each other and reach out to those in need?
5. In light of the eternal perspective discussed in the sermon, how does viewing our lives as just a "mist" change the way we should prioritize our time and resources?
