Discussion Questions - Re-read our main passage from this week (Ephesians 4:1-6, 21-24 and then with your Growth Group, family, friends, etc. thoughtfully answer the following:

1. How would you distinguish a “believer” from a disciple of Jesus?

2. Has your faith ever strayed away from your personal relationship with Jesus and become focused on something else? Describe what that was, and what is helping or has helped you make it personal again.

3. If someone asked you to provide evidence from your life that you follow Jesus what would you say?

4. What is a way that God is asking you to die to self right now? What would obedience practically look like in this area?

5. What is one way God is leading you to practically become more like Jesus in 2026?

6. Discipleship can sometimes be too centered on what we are doing / not doing. Why is it important to stay focused on Jesus’ work on our behalf as the starting point of discipleship?

7. What’s your next step in response to this message?
