Pre-Workshop Reflection
"All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses, and were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else. But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ - by grace you have been saved - and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus" - Ephesians 2:3-6
-
Who once lived according to their fallen nature?
-
What did God do about it? Why?
-
Where has God placed us?
-
How have you been raised with Christ in your life?
-
Who will go to those who are still perishing?
As you facilitate Workshop 2's discussion, ponder the mercy God desires to pour on humanity and his desire to raise us up in Christ to be with him in heaven.
