This time of worship and prayer will encourage you to move your thoughts from daily worries and pressures to our time of Bible study and prayer.

 

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS (APPROX. 30 MIN)

Have you struggled, at times, to live a transformed life? (a life worthy of the sacrifice of Christ?) In what ways?

Read Ephesians 2:1-4. What do you think abouts this transformation from “dead in your transgressions and sins” to “made us alive with Christ”.

What are some examples of ways you keep yourself “on track” to living a transformed life? What has worked for you or hasn’t worked for you?

Read 1 Corinthians 15:35-58. What are some verses, thoughts, ideas that stand out to you?

What do you think about the difference between the ‘natural’ body and the ‘spiritual’ body? (verse 42-49)

How can the spiritual (resurrected body) help us to live a transformed life (one that is worthy of Christ)? (verse 58)

Think of one practical way you can put this into practice as an individual, and then as a group.

PRAYER (10 MIN). Share prayer requests and then pray together.

End by praying

God bless,
