Sermon Based Small Group Questions
Opening: Have each person share a time that they made a wrong turn or somehow got lost or turned around or found themselves going in the wrong direction. Ladies, please be patient with the men as this may be a hard question for them to relate to!
Take some time to ask your group what their impressions were from the message. Did they have questions? Did they write any highlights in their notes?
- Review CAYG (Circumstances, Advisors, You, God) from last week’s message. Which part of the CAYG is your weakest? Was there a time you received advice or came to understand something about yourself but then refused to act upon it? Why didn’t you? Did you have the information you needed?
- Read Proverbs 3:5-6 in at least three different versions of the Bible. (Leaders may need to come prepared for this. You can check out www.biblegateway.com) How do you trust, lean, and acknowledge? In what areas is this easy to do with God? In what areas is it hard?
- It is ironic in light of Solomon’s later life that he wrote Proverbs 3:5-6 – see 1 Kings 3:7-13 with 1 Kings 11:4-5. What happened? What stood out to you in the discussion of idolatry?
- Describe a time when incredible pressure or emotions changed a decision you had to make. Why are decision making times never emotionally neutral? Read 1 Samuel 15:3-23. What command did God give Saul? How did Saul disobey God? What were the results?
- How does the statement: Choosing the right path begins with submission, not information, apply to you right now? What are you going to do as a result of what you’ve heard?
