小组问题讨论:

1. 对于你的工作或职业的目标,你持有什么样的观念或心态,是否认为它只是属肉体的或在属世的层面,还是有比为了满足生活上必需品而得工资更重要的事?从尼希米的故事中,他不是祭司而是王的酒政和重建耶路撒冷城墙的职场领袖,讨论这如何鼓励你找到并调整你的呼召,成为上帝在职场或工作环境的代表。
(传道书 3:1-2)

2. 你是否相信你在出生前就有上帝为你的生命制定的预定计划,并讨论你的原本身份是如何与你的使命连贯在一起的?在你的工作场所环境或你所在的地方,这世上的敌人如何试图去改变你的真实身份,而后果是如何?
(以弗所书 1:5, 11; 约翰福音 10:10; 约翰福音 14:12-13; 约翰福音 12:49-50)

3. 你能做些什么来使上帝放在你内心的梦想(你真正的身份)与活出上帝对你的旨意所采取的行动保持一致?在以斯帖的故事中,她认识到自己生来不是孤儿,而是为了成为女王,并是为这样的时刻被兴起来拯救她的人民,从而讨论你如何成为主的声音,在职场、公司、家庭或无论你在何处,都能带来改变?
(以斯帖记 4:14)

CG Discussion Questions:

1. What is the mindset you have regarding the purpose of your work or job and if it is only carnal in the earthly realm or is there something more than just a paycheck for necessities in life? From the story of Nehemiah, who was not a priest but a cup bearer to the king and a marketplace leader to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, discuss how this encourages you to find and align your calling and be God’s representative in the marketplace or your work place.
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-2)

2. Do you believe that you have a predestined plan that God had for your life before you were born and discuss how your original identity is tied to your destiny? How has the enemy of this world tried to change your true identity in your workplace or where you are and what are the consequences?
(Ephesians 1:5, 11; John 10:10; John 14:12-13; John 12:49-50)

3. What can you do to align the dream that God put inside of you (who you really are), with actions in living it out God’s purpose for you? From the story of Esther, who came to realize that she was not born to be an orphan but a queen and to rise up for such a time like this to save her people, discuss how you can be the voice of the Lord to make a difference in the marketplace, company, family or wherever you are?
(Esther 4:14)
