Life Recovery Group
Topic:
Bondage to the Past
Scripture Study: The Book of Ephesians
God desires recovery for us, and He has a plan for each of us since the beginning of time. His plan does not include bondage to sin or the past
Part 5: Bondage to the Past
Scripture Study: Ephesians Chapter 5:1-14
Living in the Light
What we are going to cover tonight:
1. Eph. 5:1 – Imitating God in everything we do
2. Eph. 5:2 – Living without sin and excusing sin in our lives
Read and discuss footnote Life Recovery Bible 5:1-7 (page 1514)
In recovery we are told to follow God’s example in all we do. God wants us to be like Jesus in the way we live our life. Paul says that we should avoid sin in our lives and live according to the scriptures. This is a tall order and it is impossible to do this with out God’s power.
By living the twelve steps and taking the necessary effort we can begin our journey in striving to become more like Christ. Baggage from the past will get in our way therefore we need to rebuild broken relationships, avoid destructive behavior, admit our wrongs, make amends and stay in relationship with our Father in Heaven.
Step 11 – Gods Power
We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for his will for us and the power to carry that out.
Without God’s power in our lives it is impossible to live in the Light.
Next week….
