7 Deadly DiStractIoNs

Sermon Based Small Group Questions

Ice Breaker: Did your parents talk to you about sex when you were growing up?  Have you had a conversation with your children?

1.  What is your first thought when you hear the word sex? Where would you place your first thought on this continuum?
Blessing/Pleasure                                                                                                            Taboo/Guilt
1              2              3              4              5              6              7              8              9              10
2.  Can we be intimate with someone and not be sexual?

3.  Read random passages from the Song of Songs.  What does this teach us about the gift of sex?  Why do you think this book is included in the Bible?

4.  Read Matthew 5: 27-30 & Proverbs 6:20-35.  Do we take the issue of lust seriously enough?  How do we avoid legalism in honoring these commands?

5. Pastor Kris talked about surrender not will power that will give us victory; what do you remember from the message about surrender or what would you add to the notion of surrender?
6.  Have you ever confided in someone with this area of your life?  Does it make sense that self-control is a fruit of the Spirit? Why?
