Though one day you will die, the gospel will not.

3. Be remembered for your instead of your

2 Timothy 4:7-8 (NLT)

Discussion Questions:

1. What’s the most memorable funeral you’ve ever attended? What made it stand out?
2. Paul was under house arrest, yet he still made the most of his time. How does this challenge the way we view our circumstances?
3. How can we shift from praying for God to “get us out” of a situation to asking Him to “use us in” the situation?
4. If your life ended today, what would people say about you at your funeral? What would you want them to say?
5. What practical steps can you take now to make sure your legacy points people to Jesus?
6. Read 2 Timothy 4:7–8. What does “finishing the race” look like for you personally in this season of life?
7. How can our group encourage each other to make the most of our moments, use our gift well, and be remembered for Christlikeness?
