“A Gift of Limits”

“A Gift of Limits” (Philippians 2:5-8)

For LifeNet groups and personal reflection:
1) Read Matt 4:1-11. During the 40 days of testing in the wilderness, the devil repeatedly tried to get Jesus to go beyond the limits the Father had set for him. What are the limits?
In what way(s) is there spiritual warfare raging over your life around the issue of limits?
2) Share two or three significant limits God has placed in your life.
Instead of seeing these limits as our “enemies,” how might they be our “friends” from God?
3) What does make you resist a gift of limits? What are you trying to prove? What are you so anxiously striving for that you've lost your rest?
4) In what way(s) is that more difficult than living out what other people, authorities, or the culture think you should do with your life?
