We are continuing in our Paradox series! This week, Ryan is taking us through Paul's encouragement and leaning on how "to live is Christ, and to die is gain."

Ryan has three points:

1. Proclaim Christ in Life or Death
2. Practice Living Consistent to the Gospel.
3. Perceive Suffering as a Privilege.

Discussion Questions:

1. In what ways does Paul's mindset on life and death differ from the world's? (Phil 1:21)

2. Do you consider your day to day actions to be consistent with the gospel? How about when making big life decisions, what factor does the gospel play in that?

3. How might suffering look different for the believer in the 21st century church as compared to the 1st century Philippian church? How can we ensure that we suffer well as Christians?
