Live It Out | A Daily Discipleship Guide
Listen to this week’s sermon or the Live It Out Podast | APPLE MUSIC | SPOTIFY
Monday
Heart-changing transformation leads to rightly controlled desires. Why is it significant that Jesus begins by affirming the law before redefining it from the inside out? Ask yourself, “Are my desires leading me toward love and wholeness or selfishness and distortion?” Ask Jesus, “What do I need to remember is true about you?” Pray for what you are thankful for today!

Thursday
A transformed heart loves people. Living by the Spirit isn’t about perfection. It’s about direction. It’s about keeping in step with the One transforming us. How does Paul contrast the “desires of the flesh” with the life of the Spirit? What does this reveal about how transformation actually works? What “fruit” is most clearly growing in your life right now? What’s missing or struggling to take root? Pray, asking Jesus to help you walk with him patiently, dependently, and honestly today.
Friday
Heart-changing transformation leads to rightly-controlled desires. How does Jesus’ teaching on lust and divorce reveal God’s heart for faithfulness and human dignity? Jesus calls us to a higher righteousness not through trying harder, but through transformation. Ask yourself, “Where do I notice desires that compete with loving others or myself? What’s one desire, habit, or pattern I need to submit to Jesus this week for him to reshape?
