Breakout Discussion: “Never Fall, God’s Call to Greater Productivity”

On Sunday, Pastor Mike concluded the series entitled Never Fall. He shared the final two faith supplements that will help us to Never Fall and insight into how the enemy uses family distractions as a tactic to draw our attention away from God’s purpose for our lives, in hopes we make other matters our priority, instead of putting God first. Tonight, we go a bit deeper to talk about these seven faith supplements and how they relate to our productivity. But before we begin, let us pray.

Breakout Passage:

2 Peter 1:5-11 NLT

[5] In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God's promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge,

[6] and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness,

[7] and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.

[8] The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[9] But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.

[10] So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away.

[11] Then God will give you a grand entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The 7 Faith Supplements:

  1. Moral Excellence

  2. Knowledge

  3. Self-control

  4. Patient-Endurance

  5. Godliness

  6. Brotherly Kindness

  7. Love for Everyone

Q1: According to verse 9, there are serious consequences if we fail to develop in these seven faith supplements. Discuss what could happen if a believer were to ever forget they have been cleansed of our old sins?

Q2: Discuss the words “productive” and “more productive”. In what ways could being “more productive” in the knowledge of Jesus help us? In what ways could being more productive in the knowledge of Jesus enable us to help others?

> Finish the sentence below, If I were more productive in the knowledge of Jesus, …

Prayer: Let’s pray God bless us to understand how we might begin adding these supplements to our faith and that we all might receive the grace of God that not only strengthens us, but enables us to strengthen our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Benediction: Jude 1:24-25
