Sermon Discussion Questions
1. As a member of God’s family, how are you working to instruct your God-given “sons” and “daughters” or cultivate learning relationships with “fathers” and “mothers?” If you are married, how are you working together with your spouse to instruct your children in the wisdom of the Lord and against the dangers of sin? Where is an area you could improve upon?
2. Which of the four “enticements” in verses 11-14 do you struggle the most with: belonging, self-centeredness, power/control, or unjust gain? How does God offer you something better than that through Christ? Find one Scripture that demonstrates this reality.
3. How do you receive reproof from the Lord and from others? Are there ways you tend to make excuses (like being “ignorant”)? How can you practice a more humble and genuine repentance?
4. How does the offer of the Spirit of Wisdom (verse 23) surpass the offer made by the sinners? If you’re stuck, try considering the following passages: 1 Corinthians 2:6-13; Ephesians 1:13-14; 2 Timothy 1:6-7; Romans 8:15-17.
