LIVING BLESSED

1. Experience Your Blessing in Christ

Ephesians 1:3 (NLT)“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.”

2. Live from Home!

Hebrews 13:14 (NLT)“For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.”

Matthew 6:21 (NIV)“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

“It puts your life circumstances in perspective with God’s eternal truth: He is in this, He is in you, He is all in; are you? He is home.”– Diane Bloch

Colossians 1:19"For it pleased the Father that in Him [in Christ] all the fullness should dwell."

3. Experience Your Inheritance in Christ

1 Peter 1:3-4 (NLT)“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by His great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change or decay.”

Matthew 10:8b (NLT)“Give as freely as you have received!”

Discussion Questions:

1. Share of a time when bad things were happening. Did you come to expect and maybe even verbalize that more bad things were about to happen?

2. The enemy is always trying to rob us of our inheritance. What are some blessing-robbing tactics you have experienced?

3. What comes to mind when you hear the word “home”?

4. Do you believe you can carry your true home with you everywhere you go?

5. What are 1-2 ways you can connect your heart to your true home this week?
