How Do I Change?
DISCUSS & ENGAGE THE SCRIPTURES
1. Spiritual formation is the process of being formed into the image of Christ to become a person of love. The Holy Spirit forms us through the ways above. What is the Holy Spirit showing you about your spiritual formation?
- God’s Word – 2 Timothy 3:16-17
- Godly Relationships – Ephesians 4:15-16
- Trials – James 1:2-4, 1 Peter 1:6-7, Romans 8:28-29
- Spiritual Practices – Colossians 3:9-10
- Time – Galatians 6:9
2. A spiritual practice is doing what I can do now to open myself up to God’s grace. What (if any) spiritual practice is the Holy Spirit highlighting for you to consider practicing? (See below)
Remember, spiritual practices:
- are not a measure of maturity
- are an invitation, not an obligation
- are not one-size-fits-all
- are done with God, not for God
- are done in the secret place
3. Read 1 Timothy 4:7-8. The spirit of the world has a plan to form us into it’s image. But we can intentionally plan to train ourselves to be godly. What would it look like for you to have a training plan for godliness in your life?
PRAY
Pray together: Jesus, help me be open to Your changing grace.
