Sermon Discussion Questions
1.  What are some recent “glimpses” of God’s goodness and presence you’ve experienced? How can you be more intentional to notice and give thanks for those glimpses?
2.  What is an area in your life where you are currently trusting God and how does this passage challenge or encourage your faithful endurance in that area
3.  How often do you consciously think about your future with God in “a better country?” How does the promise of a better country bring present hope to your life and shape your daily decisions?
4.  Are there areas where you’re tempted to longingly “look back” to past seasons of life or even the perceived comforts of sin? What helps you keep moving forward instead of returning?
