Life Application
Consider these questions:
- Do I understand that the Holy Spirit lives within me?
- Am I relying on my own strength or God’s power?

It is about learning to walk daily in dependence upon the Holy Spirit.

Looking Ahead
Session 9 — The Church
God’s Family and Spiritual Community
In the next session, we will learn why every believer needs a church family, how God designed the church to help believers grow, and how Christians are called to worship, serve, encourage, and build one another up in Christ.
“And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together…” (Hebrews 10:24-25)
Following Christ is personal, but it was never meant to be solitary. God has placed believers into His family—the Church.
