Discussion Questions

 Intro:

(1) If you were in the worship night, share with the group your experiences. How does the fact that knowing God's presence with you changes the way you act and think, especially in times of difficulties/ sufferings?

Messages:
Read 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, the leader may need to provide some background informations, and notice that Paul's apostleship and ministry was questioned at that time.
(2) How did Paul look at the vision God gave to him? How did he look at his suffering or weakness? How did these reflect his relationship with God?
(3) How does this paragraph in Corinthian change your view of apostle Paul? 

Applications:
(4) Seeking good characters in friends:
We notice that in previous chapters 10 and 11, Paul mentioned how he was considered to be weak by other people. But what granted Paul's apostleship and what made him a great apostle in history? How do you seek these good characters in your friends and how to help them to build these up?

(5) Building up ourselves:
How do you keep from giving up when you are suffering?
