X, Y, and Maybe Z? James 5:7-11
Discussion & Practice
- Read James 5:7-11. Pain in Obedience. Which of the prophets brought up in the sermon do you think would have had the hardest time obeying God?
- Read Mark 10:17-31. What would sadden you the most if God asked you to give it up because you loved it too much or were holding on too tightly?
- What is one area of obedience where you sense God convicting you right now?
- What is a boundary you may need to set up in order to not go near it, or a practice you need to start grasping something more loosely?
- If you’re not willing to share with the whole group, are you willing to commit to share with someone after?
Prayer + Practice:
- Ask God to reveal what you love too much in your life right now that may be pulling your whole-hearted devotion away from him.
- Make the decision today to follow in obedience.
- Tell someone close to you and let them ask how you’re doing along the way.
