Memory Verse: 2 Peter 1:10
Directions: Read the verses below and answer the following questions:

Day 1: 2 Pet 1:5-7; 1 Cor 3:11-13; Eph 4:15 – What is our responsibility in our growth spiritually? Why is it important to know that Christ is both the foundation of the church and the head of the church?
Day 2: 2 Pet 1:5-7; Joh 5:17 – Does the order of areas of growth locked into a particular order? What area do you see yourself needing to grow in? How does the order given show the progression of what was done for us to what we ought to be doing for others? How did Jesus describe His "working" relationship with the Father? How should this influence our relationship to God in our sanctification?
Day 3: 2 Pet 1:8-11; Col 3:1-3; Act 7:55-60 – How does increasing in our efforts to grow affect our knowledge of Christ? How is idleness and unfruitfulness prevented? What are we promised to be given to us as we give our all to grow? How does working for the King allow us to have a clearer vision for the Kingdom? How does the life and death of Stephen demonstrate these spiritual truths?
