~ FROM THE MESSAGE ~
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. - Ephesians 5:21
Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your minds. - Romans 12:2
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’" - Matthew 22:37-39
Be filled with the Spirit. - Ephesians 5:18
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death - even death on a cross! - Philippians 2:5-8
*Communion*
The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. - 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

~ COFFEE QUESTIONS ~
1. Garry joked that relationships are amazing… until people get involved. What’s a lighthearted example from your own life that proves how true that is?
2. In the message, Garry talked about how contestants on Alone often tap out because of isolation, not survival challenges. What does that reveal about how God designed us for relationships?
3. Read Ephesians 5:21. When you hear the word submit, what’s your honest gut reaction, and why do you think that is? How did the explanation of hupotassō (voluntary cooperation, not forced servitude) challenge or reshape your view?
4. Garry said submission is choosing what’s best for us over what’s best for me. Can you share a time when someone did that for you? How did it impact the relationship?
5. Read Philippians 2:5-8. This describes Jesus modeling humility and submission.
What is one relationship in your life right now where choosing humility and service could bring healing or growth?
6. What is one practical way you could “submit to one another out of reverence for Christ” this week–at home, at work, or with a friend, even when it costs you something?
