Discussion Questions for an N.T. Wright Homily

Greetings all. For this week I have developed the following questions to accompany this sermon given by N.T. Wright. Due to the lingering paint fumes in our worship space we cut church short of the homily so I will post a recap next week. Here is the link to his sermon and here are the discussion questions for the community groups.
thanks,
Bob

Questions for discussion:
1. How often do you think of your present in light of the future promised to us by God? How does thinking about our present and past in light of our promised future help us in the present?

2. When Wright says that the struggle for holiness will remain a struggle what does he have in mind?

3. How would you know if you were drifting towards the "neutral" version of Christian endeavor? What sort of distortion(s) of the truth would you have to believe in order to believe that remaining in neutral was the way to go?

4. How would you know if you were drifting towards "the Holy Spirit hasn't done what is said it would on the tin" version of Christian endeavor? What sort of distortion(s) of the truth would you have to believe in order to say, I tried this and it did not work and so it is not for me?
