Discussion Questions When you were a kid, who did you want to be like when you grew up and why? How did you imitate your heroes? George Bernard Shaw once famously wrote that “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it’s the sincerity form of learning” How do we learn through imitation? Read Ephesians 5:1 and discuss what does it mean to imitate God? What are some ways that we can do this in our everyday lives? Read Psalm 115:4-8 and discuss how do people become like what they worship? What is the connection between beholding and becoming? Read 2 Corinthians 3:18 and discuss what it mean that we all with unveiled face beholding the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another? What does it mean to behold the glory of the Lord? How can we do this? What does it mean to be transformed into the image of Christ? How does this happen?How can we encourage one another to behold the glory of the Lord and be transformed into his image? How can we pray for one another this week? How can we serve one another this week? What practical needs are there in our group this week? How can we hold one another accountable to mature spiritually this week? Let's take some time to pray for each other and ask for the Lord's help, power, wisdom, and guidance.
