Design Matters

SERMON DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Read Ephesians 2:10. What are some of the purposes that God designed you for? Are you living up to the potential of those purposes? How can you live up to that potential better? Do you feel there are some other areas in your life that God wants to tap into that you haven’t accessed yet in your life? Discuss.

2. Read Romans 12:1-2. Have you conformed to things you shouldn’t or stopped changing? Would you consider yourself a holy sacrifice to the Lord? Why or why not? What exactly does this passage mean by that? Discuss as a group.

3. Read 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 3:1-6, & Acts 1:8. If we belong to Christ, we are no longer the same person. Talk about how your life has changed since you accepted Christ into your life. Would you consider yourself spiritually alive or do you think you need an “awakening?” We all need to be transformed as this passage explains. What are some areas that need transformation in your life?

4. Read Ephesians 1:18-23, & Luke 18:35-40. Many times we are blind to our own issues or things that cause us to not be free. Use this time to reflect quietly for a few minutes. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal those things that have blinded you. Take the next few minutes to write down the things that He showed you. As a group pray over the things that each of you have written down and ask the Lord to help you be transformed.
