1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
• Share a time when someone remembered and acknowledged your service for the Lord. How was the experience? Did this impact your relationship with that person in any way?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
• Read the passage. What particular worldly influences are dominant in your life and to those around you? How should “standing firm in the faith” (v.13) look like in those contexts?
• Why is love essential in everything a Christian does, even when paired with other spiritual gifts and skills?

4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
• Examine yourself: Are you actively guarding your faith, or do you find yourself easily swayed by cultural trends or personal desires? Identify the specific worldly influences that you’re susceptible to and the potential reasons why.
• In what ways have you shown or withheld love toward others in your community? How is God calling you to grow in this area?

5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
• How can you demonstrate love in action this week, especially in situations where it may be challenging?
• How will you intentionally foster warm and holy relationships within your church community? Consider identifying a fellow believer you can encourage and honor or boundaries/practices you might need to establish to keep these relationships pure.

6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
• Praise the Lord for the resurrection of Christ, which calls us into a new life as a resurrected community. Thank Him for the gift of fellowship, where we can share not only our material blessings but also our lives. Rejoice in His unchanging Word that strengthens us, His love that empowers our actions, and the co-workers He has placed in our midst to encourage and serve alongside us.
• Repent for the times you have failed to stand firm in the faith, allowing worldly influences to weaken your commitment to God’s truth. Ask for forgiveness for moments when you acted without love, overlooked the contributions of fellow believers, or became indifferent toward the spiritual family God has given you. Pray for the humility to receive correction and the grace to build holy, loving relationships that reflect the gospel.

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
– Share a time you experienced someone’s love and devotion for you even if you were being difficult. How did this experience impact your relationship with that person?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
– Read the passage. What does being watchful of God and His flowing grace and presence look like in today’s context?
– How does Gospel Strength prevail and differ from the world’s concept of strength?

4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
– Be honest: How do you identify with the adulterers, sinners, and tax collectors that Jesus served, dined with, lived, and was crucified for? What holds you back from accepting that you’re a sinner in need of the Savior and His continued grace?
– Examine yourself: Are you able to love others consistently, even when they don’t reciprocate? What situations reveal your need for the strength of Christ to keep loving steadfastly?

5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
– Be watchful, stand firm, and be strong—which of these three do you find most difficult to abide by? What specific action step is God calling you to do this week?
– Commit to being more watchful this week: actively seek moments where you see God’s grace and presence, especially in difficult circumstances. You may consider starting a physical/digital journal this week to note down these moments to help keep your spirit refreshed.

6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
– Praise the Lord for His steadfast love and constant presence that strengthen us to stand firm in faith, even in difficult circumstances. Thank Him for the example of devotion seen in Him and those who serve faithfully. Rejoice that through His grace, we can be watchful, hopeful, and continually refreshed in spirit, trusting that His love and power are always at work in us.
– Repent for the times you have closed your heart or looked away from God’s grace due to discouragement or past hurts. Ask for forgiveness for moments when you lacked patience and strength in serving or loving others, especially those who may be difficult to love. Pray that God renews in you a heart that is watchful, devoted, and filled with His love to persevere and stand firm.

Magpasalamat sa Kanya sa lakas na manindigan sa pananampalataya at sa pagmamahal na ibinubuhos Niya sa ating mga puso, na nagbibigay ng lakas sa atin na mahalin nang lubos ang isa’t isa.
• Magsisi sa mga panahong pinahintulutan mo ang mga makamundong impluwensya na yumanig sa iyong pananampalataya o sa panahong hindi ka nanindigan sa Katotohanan. Humingi ng kapatawaran para sa mga sandali ng kawalan ng pasensya o kawalan ng pagmamahal sa iba, lalo na kapag ang kanilang mga kilos o salita ay sumusubok sa iyong pananampalataya. Ipagdasal na baguhin ng Diyos sa iyo ang diwa ng matatag na pagmamahal, pagpapakumbaba, at paggalang sa mga naglilingkod, na tumutulong sa iyong bumuo ng isang komunidad na nakasentro kay Kristo na may tunay na pagsasama-sama at pagkakaisa.

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
– Share which areas of your life you consider spiritual and secular. What was your thought process behind identifying them as such?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
– Read the passage. How does Paul demonstrate that all aspects of life, from spiritual matters to practical concerns like money and travel, belong to God?

4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
– Do you see every area of your life—finances, plans, and relationships—as belonging to God, or do you sometimes separate your “spiritual” life from your “secular” life? What encourages and hinders you from doing so?

5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
– In your upcoming plans or goals, how can you actively seek God’s will and prioritize His mission? Is there a specific opportunity where you could focus on impact over personal comfort?

Rejoice in the hope of the resurrection, which allows us to surrender fully to Him, knowing that our sacrifices are never wasted but are redeemed for His glory.
– Repent for the times you have separated parts of your life from God’s authority, treating certain areas as “secular” or only for yourself. Ask for forgiveness for any reluctance to surrender your money, plans, or relationships to Him fully. Pray that you may live with the awareness that all life belongs to Him, and ask for the grace to trust Him with everything He has entrusted to you.

• Magbahagi ng kamakailang pagkakataon na may nagpakita ng generosity sa iyo at nagbigay ayon sa iyong mga pangangailangan.

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Bakit kailangang pagmamahal ang maging pundasyon ng ating mga pagkilos at paglilingkod? Isipin kung ano pang mga ibang values ang pundasyon natin sa halip na pagmamahal (ex: seguridad, kaginhawaan, pagtanggap ng iba sa iyo). Ano kaya ang hitsura nito?

4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
• Gaano ka kahanda na i-submit ang iyong mga plano at hangarin sa Diyos, lalo na kapag ang mga bagay ay hindi nangyayari ayon sa inaasahan mo? Para sayo, madali ba o mahirap magtiwala na Siya ang higit na nakakaalam? Bakit?
• Suriin ang iyong puso: Ano ang iyong mga motibasyon at mga inaasahan sa tuwing ikaw ay naglilingkod o tumutulong sa iba? Nanggagaling ba ito sa malasakit o obligasyon?

5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)

Magalak sa Kanyang pagmamahal na nagbibigay-kapangyarihan sa atin na mahalin ang iba, kahit na ito ay mahirap.

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Paano nagsisilbing modelo at pangako ang resurrection ni Jesus para sa hinaharap na resurrection ng mga mananampalataya? Anong mga katangian ng katawan ni Jesus pagkatapos niya mag-resurrect ang mahalaga sa pag-unawa sa ating binagong katawan sa hinaharap?

4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
• Nabubuhay ka ba na may pag-asa na ang kamatayan ay natalo sa pamamagitan ng resurrection ni Jesus? Sa anong mga bahagi ng iyong buhay kailangan mong mas tanggapin ang pagtagumpay na ito?

Humingi ng kapatawaran sa hindi pagbibigay ng iyong sarili nang lubusan sa gawain ng Panginoon, na kadalasang naaakit ng mga abala. Manalangin para sa isang panibagong pangako na mamuhay nang may pag-asa at katatagan, ganap na nakatuon sa Kanyang paglilingkod.

– How does resurrection differ from reincarnation?

4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
– Be honest: In what ways have you been investing more into your earthly body rather than preparing for eternity? What do you think are your motivations for doing so?
– How does the idea of living for Christ rather than for yourself challenge your current lifestyle and priorities? Do you find it difficult to surrender them?

5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
– What practical steps can you take to live with an eternal perspective, focusing less on the temporary state of your earthly body and more on the hope of your future resurrection body?

Thank Him for the assurance that, through Jesus Christ, we will be raised from death to eternal life and given a body that is glorious, imperishable, and fit for His heavenly kingdom. Rejoice in the victory over death and the future we have in Christ, where our weak and perishable bodies will be made new in His glory.
– Repent for the times you have focused too much on your mortal body and neglected the eternal significance of your life in Christ. Ask for forgiveness for investing more in worldly pursuits and self-centered desires than in living for God’s eternal kingdom. Pray for a heart that seeks to live in the power of the resurrection, with Christ at the center of all that you do, so that your life may be a testimony of His transforming work.
