Verse 1: What are some significant doctrinal changes you’ve had over the course of your lifetime being a Christian? What are some things you want to teach others about Christianity?
“For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child.”
Hebrews 5:12-13
“When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.”
1 Corinthians 13:11 ESV
Verse 2: How did you know you had transitioned from being a youth to being a man? What are the modern milestones that indicate manhood?
Are there any milestones that indicate you are a mature Christian?
Verse 3-5: Did you ever spend time training your children to be good spouses? What are some things we could focus on to help our children grow up to be good spouses?
Verse 6-8: Do you think Christians have lost influence in our community? What can be done to strengthen Christian influence in our community?
Verse 9-10: Have you ever had to be submissive to someone you didn’t like or respect? What does it mean to submit in a healthy way?
Verse 11-15: Why does renouncing ungodliness and worldly passions go hand in hand with salvation? If I’ve been saved, why can’t I live life how I feel?
If we live for eternity away from this present earth, why do you think there’s such an emphasis on how we behave now? Do you think what happens in this temporal domain has an impact in the eternal domain?
