February 27 - Friday

Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your time, then read the following Scriptures.

• Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-16 

Reflect on the devotional, and answer the questions to dive in deeper!

• Devotional: In Ephesians 4, Paul urges us to live in a way that aligns with the grace we have received, marked by humility, patience, and love toward one another. Unity in the church doesn’t come from us being the same as everyone else or from strong personalities, but from hearts willing to put others first for the sake of Christ. Jesus Himself is the source of this unity, generously giving us gifts so His body might grow together instead of competing against itself. Lent invites us to notice how pride quietly hinders that growth and to repent of the ways we resist God’s work in us. As we walk humbly with Christ and one another, God uses even our smallest acts of faithful humility to build His church into maturity. 

• Discussion Questions:
  1. What stood out to you in today’s passage?
  2. What questions do you still have?
  3. What is God asking you to do in response?

End your time with prayer, and ask the Lord to help you apply what you have learned today.
