What is a piece of clothing you own that you really enjoy wearing?
Discuss:
- Which “put off / put on” exchange stood out to you the most and why?
- What would it look like to speak truth in a way that builds trust this week? If there’s a conversation you’ve been avoiding that requires honesty, how does this passage encourage you?
- What typically triggers anger in you? How can you tell when your anger is becoming sinful rather than constructive?
- How does your view of work change when it becomes a way to bless others?
- Think of a recent conversation. Did your words build up or tear down?
- How does remembering Christ’s forgiveness change your willingness to forgive others? How does seeing yourself as a “beloved child” change your motivation for obedience?
- What does it look like, practically, to “walk in love” in your daily life? What is one concrete step you can take this week to imitate Jesus?
Pray:
Pray for awareness of areas that need to be “put off” and correspondingly, pray for strength to “put on” Christlike character. Pray for your whole group to grow in unity, truth, and love.
