"What makes a day 'Good'?"

Three different reasons people suffer:

1. People suffer for BEING STUPID
2. People suffer for PERSONAL GROWTH
3. People suffer for THE NAME OF JESUS

Am I a courageous member of the body of Christ, ready to suffer for the honor of Jesus' name?

My next step with God is to...

• spend some time considering these "response questions":
  • Do I generally avoid resistance?
  • Can I think of times I have recently invited resistance for someone else's spiritual good?
• ask God for an opportunity to bring honor to Jesus' name and the courage to take it
• watch for how people in the Bible responded to suffering as I continue reading through the book of Acts.
• participate in the home group book study, "Letters to the Church" by Francis Chan as a companion study to the sermon series (chapter 6)
