STIMULATE

** In our look together at The Spirit Filled Family, we saw that the husband and wife under the control of the Holy Spirit, as well as the parent and child under the control of the Holy Spirit, can be used by God to paint a beautiful portrait of God's design for the family. What similarities did you notice in the Christ centered lifestyle of the husband, wife, parent and child?

They are all living out a self-sacrificing life! Respecting others, putting others first and trying to nourish those that they love as the live to the glory of God with an obedient heart.

V.22 "as to the Lord" (Wife)
V.25ff "as Christ also loved (Husband)
V. 1 "in the Lord" (Children)
V. 4 "of the Lord" (Parent)

** Do you feel more equipped for the purpose of living out The Spirit Filled Life and for being able to explain to others what God's Word has to say?

Hopefully, we will be faithful to take to heart all that we are learning and to then pass it on whenever we get the opportunity.

MOTIVATE

** What is the greatest single source of joy for the child of God?

Obedience to His truth! cf. Luke 11:27-28

** Realizing this, what daily experience do many people share that provides a testing ground for the integrity of our walk with the Lord? Where do they have frequent opportunities for success or failure?

Going to the workplace!

** What does the Word of God say about how we are live "The Spirit Filled Life" - even in the workplace? For the answer, let's return once again to Paul's letter to the Ephesians, chapter six and verses 5-9.
