ALL IN #51 Ephesians 6:17b
May 23, 2021 • Jason Carson
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.
ALL IN #50 Ephesians 6:17a

TOGETHER GROUP QUESTIONS Read Ephesians 6:13-17. What is God’s Word saying to you in this verse? What is God’s heart for His people? Discuss the helmet of salvation. Why is this such a critical piece in the armor of God? What does it do for you? What does it protect you from? What are some of the lies over your life that have an uninvited place in your mind? (For example: you don’t matter, no one cares, you’ll never change, you’re inadequate, you have to prove yourself, your past defines you, you’re no good or unlovable…) What is a Biblical worldview? And how can you strengthen yours? (Hint: It’s more than just reading the Bible) Read 1 John 3:1-2. If you understand who and whose you are, how should that change your life, decisions, and outlook on life? What are some practical ways you can cultivate and nurture a Godly mindset in life? Pick someone in your group to close in prayer. They should pray for everyone to put on the helmet of salvation, to remember who/ whose we are, and to all have Godly mindsets this week!
