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?

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.
