Table Talk Questions
- “This life will end.” What do you think when you read that statement? How can your life be compared to a “pouring out” of an offering? (v. 6)
- What priorities should change in view of your inevitable departure? How should it change your use of time? Your generosity? Your relationships? Your purpose and mission here on earth? How will you evaluate your life when the time of departure comes for you? (v. 6)
- What three ways does Paul describe living life for the Lord? (v. 7) In what ways is your life a fight? A race? A guarding of treasure? Do you have a written mission statement? Why would such a statement be helpful?
- Say something positive about heavenly rewards. Why are some Christians reluctant to think about rewards? Why does the Bible speak so much of them? (v. 8)
