Discussion Questions:

1. In 2 Corinthians 4 verse 7, it mentions that believers have "this treasure in jars of clay." What does this metaphor mean to you, and how does it relate to the Christian faith? How does it impact the way you view yourself and your role in sharing the gospel?

2. The passage discusses facing various challenges and hardships in Christian ministry. Can you share a personal experience when you faced adversity because of your faith? How did you respond, and what did you learn from that experience? How do you find strength and resilience in times of trial?

3. In verse 4, it mentions that "the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers." How do you think this spiritual blindness operates in today's world, and what can Christians do to help remove those blinders and share the gospel effectively?

4. The sermon talks about the importance of plain-speaking and integrity in proclaiming the gospel. How can we effectively communicate the message of Jesus with clarity and honesty while maintaining a posture of humility and grace?

5. Verse 16 talks about being "renewed day by day" inwardly. How does this inner renewal happen in your life, and what practices or habits do you find most effective in experiencing this renewal?
