Looking back on last Sunday’s message and your notes, what was the most meaningful part for you?

Digging Deeper:

  1. As a group, read Ephesians 4:1-16. How would you summarize what these verses are saying?
  2. When you hear, in verse 1, the Apostle Paul urge/implore/beg us to live a life worthy of our calling, what goes through your mind? What do you think that looks like?
  3. Of the qualities listed in verse 2, which ones do you think you have grown the most in? Which one of these qualities has God demonstrated to you the most?
  4. In verse 3, Paul encourages us to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. What do you think are some of the most effective things a church can do to make this happen?  What things have you seen or experienced in a church that threatens this unity and peace?
  5. In verses 7-10, we see the supremacy of Christ and how He gives “gifts” to the Church in the form of various leaders. Their purpose is to help us on the journey of living a life worthy of Christ calling?  Which spiritual leaders have had the most impact on your life in helping you grow to become a mature follow of Jesus?  Have you ever thought of them as a gift of God to you before?  Please share.
  6. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, where would you say you are on the spiritual journey of becoming a mature follower of Jesus? As you read verses 12-15, what do you think a spiritually mature person looks like in the church?
  7. What gifts, talents, and abilities do you believe God has given you to serve in the Body of Christ?

Pray for your group this week that they would continue to grow in their faith in Jesus.
