Let’s Talk Notes – Week of October 19, 2014
Message: The Lord Can Give You Much More Than That
Scripture: 2 Chronicles 25:5-9
1) Imagine that you have the opportunity to design your own food buffet. What 5 items would you most like to have?
2) As you reflect back on last weekend’s sermon, what one principle or insight stands out as being particularly helpful, insightful or difficult to grasp?
3) Read Joshua 7:19-21. What was Achan’s sin? What are some of your 'If I just have this' statements? Have you tested whether they are healthy ambitions or covetous desires? If you are comfortable, share an experience with the group in which you realized that you were coveting something or someone that belonged exclusively to another. What did you learn about yourself through the experience?
4) Pastor Joseph reminded us that more (quantity) is not always better in the kingdom of God. How does covetousness lead us to want more at the expense of our relationship with God? What are other dangers of coveting?
5) Read 2 Peter 1:3. What does it mean that God has given us everything that we need? How does knowing YOUR corporate and individual identity help you to realize what God has provided to you.
- Turn and talk to your neighbor about your testimony. This can include how you came to salvation or important lessons you've learned in your Christian journey. Talk with him or her about how your testimony shapes your identity in Christ and how you fit into the body of Christ.
6) What are possible things or circumstances that can trigger discontentment? Are you more susceptible to a particular trigger for discontentment? How can you guard against covetousness when you feel discontent?
7) Share your #notmyrace testimony. Today, I could _________, but that’s #notmyrace! We are learning to throw off everything that hinders our race! Hebrews 12:1-3.
