IN THIS LESSON

What exactly does the word Spiritual mean?

We have to understand who we are as beings created in God’s image. This lesson addresses common misconceptions about what spirituality means. This will lay the ground work for understanding how we can grow closer to Jesus.

  • What is one thing that is either physical, emotional or relational that you think is having an impact on you spiritually that you haven’t noticed before?

  • What things are you tempted to prioritize in christian maturity over love?

  • Can you find yourself in the degrees of love? Where do you find you spend most of your time?

  • What do you think your balance is between being and doing?

Prayer of Response

Consider using this prayer over the course of the next few days or pray it right now and invite God to expand your love for Him.

O Lord, you have mercy on all; take away from me my sins, and mercifully set me ablaze with the fire of your Holy Spirit. Take away from me the heart of stone, and give me a human heart, a heart to love and adore you, a heart to delight in you, to follow and enjoy you, for Christ’s sake. Amen.
