Reflect on the three chairs from last week. Do you have any insight or personal examples where you noticed a 1st chair, 2nd chair, or 3rd chair conversation or decision?
In light of Sunday’s message on Failure To Drive Out, go around and share something of interest or a personal application.
Read Deuteronomy 20:16, Judges 1 and 2:10. What was the sin of the Israelites? Talk about the temptation for the people to fall into that sin.
In groups of 2-3, pick a couple of sins. Why are they so tempting?
Consider your past week. What cultural norms or societal habits naturally want to pull you away from God the most?
Is there another person in your life who knows your strongest temptations that draw you away from God? If so, who is that person?
Pray as a group for the daily temptations we face, the courage to find support and the power to renew our minds. Pray Romans 12:2.
Read Romans 7:21-25 silently and reflect for 5 minutes. Offer people to share afterwards.
What is one next step you will commit to take this week?
