The fourth faith statement is possibly the most misquoted verse in evangelical culture — and Moore works hard to reclaim what Paul actually meant when he wrote it from a prison cell.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.What is the fourth faith statement, and what is the context in which Paul originally wrote it (Philippians 4:13)? Moore insists the verse is not a sports slogan. What is it actually about when read in context?
2.Moore anchors this statement in Paul's description of 'the secret of being content in any and every situation' — having learned to be content whether well-fed or hungry, in abundance or in want. What does it tell us that this supernatural ability is described as something *learned*, not automatically received?
3.Paul wrote Philippians from prison. Moore asks us to feel the weight of that. What is a 'prison' circumstance in your life — something you cannot change and did not choose — where you need to discover what it means to do all things through Christ?
a.What does 'doing all things through Christ' look like in that specific situation — not abstractly, but practically?
b.What would contentment look like there, without pretending the difficulty isn't real?
