Discipleship Group
Discussion Questions
These discussion questions are based on the scripture reading from the past week (Ephesians 6:10-14), and the talk on November 8th, 2026.
Practice
Throughout our Draw Near month, we are inviting our church to fast together on Tuesdays. Take a few moments to check in with one another on how this practice is going, what challenges you've faced, what breakthroughs you've experienced, or what God is doing in your lives through this practice.
Discuss
1. Do you ever find yourself focusing on achievement in your faith? What happens when your energy starts to run low and your achievements slow down?
2. Ephesians 6:11-13 calls Christians to stand firm against spiritual attack. Have you experienced times of "standing" or "holding your ground" in your faith? What does faithfulness look like in those seasons?
3. How do you think Jesus looks at you in times of standing, when you aren't achieving as much as you feel you should? How does His response to John in Matthew 11:1-11 affect your understanding of how He views you?
Pray
Thank the Lord that He has promised to strengthen you when you call on Him (Ephesians 6:10). Ask Him to give you the endurance to sustain you through challenges and uncertainties.
