Community Group Study Notes
- Have someone in your group give a brief recap of Sunday’s message, highlighting the primary Scripture points and the main idea of the message.
- How did this message strengthen and/or correct your previous ideas about truly knowing God? Was there anything you heard for the first time or that caught your attention, challenged, or confused you? Did you learn anything new about God or yourself this week?
- In verse 18, Paul speaks of the hope to which God has called us. What is the hope to which He has called us? How should that change everything in our lives? What are areas in your life that still need to change accordingly?
- In verses 19-20, Paul speaks of the great power that is available to us who are in Christ Jesus. What is the power that he is speaking of? What does God give us that power for? How do we access that power?
- How is spiritual insight different than spiritual maturity? Talk through the differences and ask yourself, “Am I only gaining spiritual insight without growing in spiritual maturity?” If so, what needs to change?
- Pastor Jonathan asked in the message, “What can you say about the character that God is forming in you?” Discuss this question among the group and pray for one another where needed.
- What action step do you need to take in response to this week’s message? How can your group hold you accountable to this step?
Action Step
If you did not complete it during service, please complete the Discipleship Survey at thechapel.com/survey.
Once you’ve completed it, take a look back through and ask yourself, “Where do I need to further be conformed to the character of Jesus?”
This week, pray both together as a group and as individuals when you go home through Ephesians 1:15-23 for your group and for our church.
