Galatians 5:16
Coffee Moment
As this time together continues, take note of the patience required to maintain presence.
Reflection
Spiritual growth is a gradual, lifelong process that often goes unseen and can be frustrating. Relationship challenges are excellent growth opportunities, and we will inevitably make mistakes along the way. Your spiritual growth journey is essential to life as a Christian and integral to sharing in one another's burdens, fostering perseverance and hope. We want to be better people, and turning our focus to the Lord allows him to build his character in us.
Discussion Questions
- Why do we want instant change in our lives?
- How do other people help us grow?
Prayer
Lord, show us the source of our frustration in a struggle.
Personal Practice
Affirm the growth you see in other people this week.
