Getting Started1. What does it mean to finish something? When have you completed a long, difficult project, commitment, or undertaking?

2. Read Colossians 4:17. Describe a ministry, job, relationship, etc. that God has called you to complete for His glory.

Digging Deeper1. Read 2 Timothy 4:7. Write down the top three characteristics of someone who is a “finisher.” Which finisher-trait are you strongest in? Weakest?

2. Read John 17:4. Of the below challenges-to-finishing, which one feels like your current limitation to finishing things well?Staying connected to God’s calling in the ups and downs of life.Staying focused on my calling…after I’ve won a victory.Staying ready for reassignment to a new God-given dream.

3. Read Isaiah 46:4. What makes age a valuable commodity in God’s kingdom? How can those who have lived longer invest in the church?

4. Read Romans 11:29. “Your calling is what you were made to do.” What were you made to do? When have other people told you, “You’re good at _____________________”?

5. “We can’t let down our guard, especially after new adventures or fresh victories.” Read 2 Samuel 11:1. When have you experienced a victory and then let down your guard?

Bringing it Home 1. In what way have you “retired” (i.e. checked out) of living 100% for God?

2. How can you make a change of faith start, continue, or finish something for God? In what way will you move past the barriers and get going?
