1. Did you learn anything new today? How do you plan a stewarding what you learned today for the glory of God and the good of your neighbor?

2. According to Paul, there are two types of doctrines (or teachings) that we need to be watching out for: 1) Crafty Human Cunning. 2) Deceitful Schemes. What are specific examples of these in current culture? Why are these types of false teachings so dangerous?

3. As we grow in our maturity in Christ, we will be better equipped to navigate the waves and winds of life in general and the waves and winds of false doctrine in particular. Why does Paul get so specific? Why does Satan primarily attack us at the head level first?

4. In our day of cultural relevance, stable resilience is a quality that is often lacking. In light of the Ephesians 4:11-16, how can we as believers daily grow in our resilient stability?

5. In the sermon, we discussed that God’s Word and Work are more like a compass than a GPS as we navigate the storms of life. Why is that distinction important? Why does a compass approach to the storms of life force us to trust God more than a GPS approach?
