TOGETHER GROUP QUESTIONS
Read Ephesians 1:5-10. What is God’s Word saying to you in this passage? What is God’s heart for His people?
Predestination can be a divisive topic in the church. However, it’s clearly in the Bible. What does God’s Word say about it? What would you say our Heavenly Father would want us to know and understand from His heart, and not our opinions?
What are some practical benefits of being adopted. How does this affect your relationship to the Lord?
God has given us redemption through the forgiveness of sins. What does that mean for your life? How can we balance proper remorse and repentance for our sins… with walking out total freedom in Christ?
(Read 1 John 1:9) If God forgives all of our sins from the moment we’re saved, why do we need to confess our sins?
Why is understanding God’s eternal plan foundational to living a life fully submitted to Him?
What is one big, practical way you can submit your life to Christ this week?

TOGETHER GROUP QUESTIONS As a review of the whole passage, read Ephesians 6:10-17. What is God’s Word saying to you in this passage? What have you learned? What sticks out? What has helped you? Discuss the sword of the Spirit. Why is this such a critical piece in the armor of God? What does it do for you? What does it protect you from? How is it an offensive weapon? Name one situation/ trial you are going through currently in life right now, and discuss HOW you can apply the Word of God to that situation (Ps. 119:105). Have the group share specific Bible verses that can be applied to each person’s circumstances. Read Matthew 4:1-11. Break down the 3 temptations Jesus faced, and how they are similar to things we face on a daily basis. Discuss how Jesus responded to each temptation. How is the Sword of the Spirit (God’s Word) useful to you? (There’s dozens and dozens of answers- have each person in the group share at least one!) As we have gone through each of the 6 pieces in the armor of God (belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the Gospel of peace, helmet of salvation, shield of faith, and sword of the Spirit)… have each group member pick one of those items that they would like prayer for in this upcoming season.
