Discussion Questions

1. God’s power strengthens and sustains us in our weakness. (4:7–12)

We are like fragile “jars of clay,” yet God’s surpassing power works through our weakness to reveal His strength and glory.

When have you felt fragile or inadequate, yet experienced God’s strength carrying you through?

2. God is at work within us, renewing us daily and preparing us for eternity. (4:13–5:1)

Though outwardly we may face trials and weariness, inwardly God is renewing us day by day, shaping us for the eternal glory He has promised.

In what ways is your inner self being renewed daily and prepared for eternity?

How might your endurance in present trials help others see the power and hope of Christ?

What promises of God can you hold on to that will encourage you to persevere in your ministry of endurance?
