Show Notes

Looking Above ep 23 - Ephesians 1:1-14/ Celebration

It's a new season for Looking Above!  This season we'll be talking about how we grow in Christ together.  We'll focus our time on the book of Ephesians and also discuss how we can use the spiritual disciplines to grow together.  Karen and Brooklyn are discussing our blessings in Christ and how we should celebrate all that God has done for us.  It is important to recognize God's work and praise Him together.  Our faith grows from hearing the testimonies of others.

Questions to discuss with your group:

  1. Together as a group go thru the passage and create a list of all the things God does (look for verbs).  Create a second list of what we receive or are offered.
  2. Verses 3, 6, 12, and 14 speak of praise.  Go around the group and have each person select one word/phrase from each list and share praise.  Why does that word/phrase resonate with you?  What does it mean to receive that as a gift from God?
  3. If you have time, have individuals share testimony either of how they came to Christ or of what God is currently doing in their life.  (This alone could fill your entire group meeting)
  4. Celebrate.  Party.  Give high fives.  Dance.  Whoop and holler. Do something together as a group (even if you feel silly) to celebrate God's goodness.

The Takeaway: We have been so very blessed by God.  We should regularly take time to celebrate His goodness.

Action Step: How will you personally celebrate God's goodness this week?
