Dream a little … What is something you always wanted, but never got? Sometimes people have “wants” about their church. – “I want to be ministered to” – Today we look at how serving in the church is not about “what I want”.

Listen for how to live. Ephesians 5:15-17 (NIV) 15 Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.

Live Wisely What are the admonitions in these verses? What reason did Paul give for living wisely? What do you consider the biggest benefits of living wisely and avoiding foolishness? How can believers understand what it is to live wisely or how to make right choices? By what means can we understand what is God’s will?

Live Wisely Why do some people today tend to disregard any experience/wisdom/truth but their own? Why do you think our culture does not value wise elders who have applied truth to life? How might we increase the perceived value of wisdom to people around us (family, friends, people at work)? How do we put ourselves in a position to receive God’s wisdom?

Listen for a contrast. Ephesians 5:18 (NIV) 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

Be Full in the Holy Spirit What two options are identified and contrasted for determining our conduct? Paul talks about wine or alcohol … how does alcohol control a person? What other kinds of things are people controlled by in our culture? What does it mean to “be filled with the Spirit”?

Be Full in the Holy Spirit What are the implications of being filled by God’s Holy Spirit on a daily basis? Again, let’s look at how Bill Bright of Campus Crusade illustrated it … – Every believer has God’s Holy Spirit dwelling within his/her life. – We choose daily, even moment by moment to allow the Holy Spirit to control/fill us (or not).

Listen for how Christ’s control is demonstrated. Ephesians 5:19-21 (NIV) 19 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Live the Submissive Life What commands for church members (as a group) do you see in the passage? Name some of your favorite hymns or praise songs … Why do these songs mean so much to us? What commands do you see for individuals?

Live the Submissive Life How is this different than how the world looks at life? How is our thankfulness in the midst of hardships a witness to unbelievers?

Application Watch carefully how you live. – Make right choices about the direction and character of your life. – Pursue knowing and doing God’s will.

Application Jump in. – Work with your small group leader or church staff. – Identify a ministry in which your service will meet a need. – Just do it!

Application Accentuate the positive. – Make a list of the things you like best about your church. – Share with one another the next time we meet together. – Thank the Lord together for these good things God is doing.
