TOGETHER GROUP QUESTIONS
Read Ephesians 4:17-19. What is God’s Word saying to you in this verse? What is God’s heart for His people?
How would you counsel a person who claims to be a believer but was living as verse 19 describes?
The definition of “futile” is serving no useful purpose or being completely ineffective. What particular things do we do in life that contributes to a futile mind?
What are some practical ways to set our minds on things above?
Read Ephesians 5:11-16. How can you “expose” evil deeds of darkness? What anecdotes does this passage give to walk in the light?
The Bible speaks of being careful to not foster a hard heart. In what specific ways can we guard ourselves from getting a hard heart?
In closing, go around the circle and have each person share one way that they will draw closer to Jesus 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.
