Discussion

Freedom or Self-Improvement:
Paul says, “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.” (v13)
In what ways have you settled for simply becoming a more “improved” version of yourself rather than living in the radical freedom Christ offers?
What would it look like this week to actually live as someone set free rather than someone trying harder?

Indulgence or Service:
“Do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” (v13)
Where in your life are you using freedom for self… your comfort, image, or control... rather than to serve others in love?
What specific act of service or sacrifice might the Spirit be prompting you to take?

Keeping in Step with the Spirit:
Paul contrasts the acts of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit.
Which direction are your habits, relationships, and thoughts currently training you to walk… toward the flesh or toward the Spirit?
What one intentional change could help you keep in step with the Spirit this week?

Prayer

Pray for each other to keep in step with the Spirit this week.
