Sunday Discussion
This is designed to be an extension of our Sunday worship service. Take a few minutes to have this conversation with those who watched the worship service with you. If you watched alone, give another friend who watched alone a call and have the conversation over the phone.
- Share something that was said or sung in the worship service that resonated with you.
- Take a moment to pray with and for the person with whom you just shared.
Daily Discussion
These are intended for conversation around the dinner table, in the car, or before bed at night (ideal for ages 7 and up). Start each conversation by reading the passage listed.
Monday: Read Ephesians 4:11-12. What does this tell us about the role of those who teach/proclaim God’s truth? What does this tell us about the role of God’s people?
Tuesday: Read Ephesians 4:12-13. What process is this describing? Name some critical elements of this process.
Wednesday: Read Ephesians 4:14. Share some examples of what it looks like or feels like to be tossed back and forth by every wind of teaching.
Thursday: Read Ephesians 4:15. Share some examples (good and bad) regarding speaking the truth and love.
Friday: Read Ephesians 4:16. What are some things we can learn from the instruction in this verse?
You can also use the above readings and questions as a personal, daily devotion and journaling prompt.
Weekly Discussion
Use these questions in discussion with spiritual friends. Spiritual friends are those who intentionally move into one another’s life to spur one another on in spiritual growth for the Glory of God.
1. How has God encouraged, challenged or corrected you recently?
2. What’s a way that you believe God has used you recently or wants to use you this week?
