The Joy-Filled Life

Pastor Mike Meyers' message, "What Really Matters," encourages us to find joy in Christ, prioritize Him above all, and reflect His love, even through life's toughest challenges and suffering.

Discussion Questions for Growth Groups

Understanding God's Plan in Difficult Times: Pastor Mike shared the story of Daniel and his family’s suffering, as well as Paul’s imprisonment. How can we learn to trust that God is working for His greater purpose even when we don’t understand the hardships we face?
Living for Christ, Not Ourselves: Philippians 1:21 says, "For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better." What does it mean to live for Christ in your daily life? How does this mindset shape your priorities?
The Joy in Suffering: Both Paul and the family of Daniel found joy despite their suffering. How can we cultivate joy in Christ even when we are in the midst of trials or suffering?
Reflecting Christ to Others: Daniel, despite his short life, was remembered for always asking, "Do you know Jesus?" How can we, like Daniel, intentionally reflect Jesus to those around us in our own unique circumstances?
What Really Matters: At the end of the sermon, Pastor Mike asks, "What matters most? What, if taken away from you, would destroy you?" Reflect on your life—what are the things you hold onto, and how can you recalibrate your heart and mind to make Christ the center of your life?
