Dead/Alive      Eph 2:1-5

3. How might these past events influence the way you perceive yourself and others?

Higher Ground      Eph 4:11-15

Ground Stoppers      Rom 12:9-18
Insecurity – If you don’t feel good about yourself it’s hard to open up to someone else. Your security is in Christ; in being who HE says you are
Selfishness – If you only care about yourself, you won’t be able to care about others. When your eyes are on Christ, your heart will be on people.
Laziness – Relationships take work! Put in the effort and do not lose your zeal.
