Study/Discussion Questions

1. How have you “looked into God’s eyes” this week?  What ways have you been applying what you heard last week?
2. Why is maturity and zeal often separated in how we view spirituality?  What does it look like when the two are together in tandem?  Can you share any personal experiences you’ve had with this?
3. What is the difference between knowing about the way of love and pursuing it?  How does this change how we live?
4. What would it look like to earnestly desire the higher spiritual gifts?  How would this play out in your life?
5. What does it look like to excel in building up the church? Can you share any personal experiences you have witnessed of this?
6. What is one thing that God wants you to remember, do or change in response to what you heard today?
