Here To Serve Part 3

Getting to Know You:
• What do you do to keep in shape physically and spiritually?

Going Deeper:
• Read Psalm 68…make note of the connections this psalm has to Jesus in his death and crucifixion.
• Read Eph. 4:8-10, Rom. 10:6-7, 1 Peter. 3:18-20…this could be referring to 1) the incarnation, 2) Jesus’ descent into Hades or 3) Jesus descent into the grave…which option do you believe fits best and why?
• Why is Paul so interested in these verses in maturity and why is maturing in our faith so crucial?
• Discuss the statement in Eph. 4:13 that all is the goal for maturity, not some. How might we develop more maturity here at FBC?
• Reflect on Eph. 4:15. Why is taming our tongue a sign of spiritual maturity? Discuss what type of speech then would entail spiritual maturity?
• What are some ways you’ve implemented in your life to prevent you from “being tossed to and fro by the waves…”? How might we avoid giving into false teaching?

Taking it Home:
• Ask someone you trust this week how you might grow into maturity…ask them to identity area (s) of weakness that you may turn into a strength.
