Texts of interests:

What were the two most interesting ideas, concepts or principles about this weekend’s message?

Diving
1. Have someone or several people in the group read Ephesians 4-5:19 out loud. It is probably best
to let several people read this one. Answer the following questions:
a. What stood out to you in this text?
b. How difficult is it to practice all that God asks of us in this chapter and a half of scripture?
c. How many of the 10 things that Matt said make up a healthy church member can be found
in this text?
d. How many references are there in Ephesians 4-5:19 concerning how we are to walk with
one another?
e. What is God asking us to do for one another?
f. Is there a correlation in this text between all that God is asking us to be and what He is
asking us to do for one another? Explain.

Applying
1. Do you, after hearing the sermon this weekend need to confess anything or repent of anything?
What in your life needs to change? Be added to your life? Be removed? Steps you need to take.

2. How can we help you? Hold you accountable?
