EPHESIANS 4:11-16

1. Where do you see yourself outsourcing your faith, perhaps treating a pastor, counselor, or program as the one who should do your wrestling with God for you, instead of Christ?

​2. Ephesians 4 opens with Christ descending to the lowest parts of the earth and ascending again to minister to us. Where do we see Jesus in this passage after his ascension?

​3. Verse 16 describes the body "working properly" as each part is joined and held together. What might this passage reveal about the Spirit's work of growing you through connection to others, rather than in isolation?

MATTHEW 28:16-20

1. Where does this passage challenge a false belief you or our culture holds about what following Jesus requires — going far away vs. going to the people already around you?

2. What did you learn about God's character from Jesus' claim to total authority, total reach, and total presence (Matt 28:18-20)?

3. What might this passage reveal about the Spirit's sanctifying work in you — specifically your hesitancy to invite people past "watching" into actual discipleship?
