Discussion Questions

1.)  According to the original language in this passage, what does it mean to "set" our hearts and our minds on something?  (more below)

2.) What do you think it means then to set our hearts and minds on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God? 

3.) What do you think it means to NOT set your hearts and minds on earthly things?

4.) Why should the fact that we have been raised with Christ (3:1) be a motivator to do the above?

5.) In practical terms then, what do you think it might look like for you this week to "stay focused"on Jesus and His Kingdom and NOT on earthly things?
