Opener

1. Where do you go to find your rest/renewal?

Read & Discuss: Ephesians 5:17-21

1. What does Paul mean by “walk”? Why is this such a helpful picture for Christian living?

2. Why does Paul emphasize walking carefully (v.15)? What “walking hazards” do you in your life’s path?

3. What marks the difference between wise and unwise living according to this passage?

4. How do you seek to understand the “will of the Lord” in decisions that are unclear?

5. What does it look like to “redeem the time” (make the best use of the days)? Where do you feel that challenge most?

6. Look at the contrast is Paul drawing between being filled with wine and being filled with the Spirit. What does this dichotomy teach us and how do we apply it consistently?

7. Why do you think Paul immediately connects being filled with the Spirit to how believers relate to one another (vv.19–21)?

8. How do singing, gratitude, and mutual submission function as evidence of a Spirit-filled life?

Pray: Pray for the areas mentioned in the last question so that we can walk as light!
