Questions for the Community

Devoted to Learning  

1. Read Ephesians 2:1-10. Pay attention to who people ARE and how they CHANGE because of Christ. In light of all this, what does it mean to be God’s workmanship or masterpiece?
2. Notice our good works flow FROM our identity as God’s workmanship. Why is this so vital? Where else does this show up in Biblical teaching?
3. What does the word ‘walk’ teach us in v. 10? What are the good works God created for us? How’s your walk going? 

Devoted to one another

4. What is your one thing you’d MOST like to change about you?As you are able… hold it up in prayer and ask if God can use it in some way for GOOD.
5. As a CG, talk about how you can participate in kingdom work together in ways that you never could alone. Dream and then strategize how you can put feet to the idea (or to walk in these good works to use Biblical language!)

Devoted to praying

5. As part of your daily prayers each day…practice RECEIVING. Simply review and remember who you are right now in Christ (hint: our weekly memory verses work great for this). If there are parts that are hard to accept…bring these to God and ask for grace to trust what he says is true of you. 
6. As part of your daily prayers each day…practice OFFERING. Give yourself afresh to the task at hand…living out of who God made you to be and is making you to become.
