Recap: Look back for evidence of God’s word reshaping your heart and life. Does anyone have a testimony to share with the group of how you applied last week’s “Respond” section? Engage: Look into the Word of God in light of Sunday’s preached sermon. Read 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 together as a group and discuss your initial observations. Reflect: Look deeper at the preached and written Word. Why do you think Paul says the Corinthians themselves are his “letter of recommendation” instead of pointing to his accomplishments or credentials? Ronnie shared that the pen of grace always moves first in salvation. How does understanding God’s initiative in your salvation affect your daily walk with Him and your assurance of faith? The Holy Spirit writes on hearts of flesh, not tablets of stone. In what areas of your life are you still relying on external rules rather than internal transformation by the Spirit? How does this passage help us understand the difference between simply following religious rules and experiencing genuine heart transformation? How does knowing that Christ is the Author of your story—and the Spirit is the One changing your heart—encourage you when you feel discouraged by your own shortcomings? Respond: Choose one or two of these applications from Sunday’s message to put into practice this week. Option 1: Live Readable Identify one area where your life might be “smudging the message” of Christ (your speech, your social media presence, your treatment of family, your work ethic, etc.) Confess this to God and ask the Holy Spirit to transform this area Share your commitment with one person in the group for accountability Option 2: Live Sendable Spend time in prayer asking God, “What would You have me do? Where would You have me serve?” Consider one specific way you can make yourself available to God this week (serving at church, having a gospel conversation with a neighbor, giving sacrificially, etc.) Take one concrete step toward that availability Option 3: Live Sacrificially Identify one comfort or security you’re clinging to that might be keeping you from fuller surrender to Christ Write a prayer surrendering this to God Share with the group how they can pray for you in this area Save PDF Locally Click to save a copy of the filled-in notes to a PDF file on your device Generate File Click to View PDF Save PDF to Google Drive (Android & PC Only) Click to save a copy of the filled-in notes to a PDF file on your Google Drive account Save File Send to Email Enter your email address below to receive a copy of your filled in notes Send
