READ

Ephesians 5:1-21

Explore

  1. What stands out to you in the passage?

  2. What does it mean to be “imitators of God, as beloved children?” Why do you think Paul uses the Father-child relationship to encourage imitation?

  3. Why do you think Paul places the acts of sexual immorality, impurity, and greed in contrast to walking in love?

  4. Why does Paul contrast being drunk with wine and being filled with the Spirit? How do singing, thanksgiving, and mutual submission reflect the Spirit’s presence with us?

APPLY

  1. How does Christ’s self-giving love challenge the way we live and show love to others?

  2. Why is confession important in our devotion to God? How might we “expose the darkness” within ourselves with humility and grace rather than condemnation in order that we might “walk as children of light?”

  3. How can we adjust our habits to use our time well for loving God and serving others rather than living solely or primarily for ourselves? What does this look like practically?
