GROW GROUP QUESTIONS
Announcement: NO REGRETS Men’s Conference is Feb 3rd. Are you and the men from your group going together? Talk about it and SIGN UP TOGETHER AT GROUP!
Icebreaker:
What is your favorite scenic lookout and why?
Sermon Discussion – Matthew 4:1-11
- Why do you think Satan believed that offering all the kingdoms of the world would be a tempting proposition for Jesus?
- Explore the idea that Satan wants us to rush, while God plays the long game.
- Do you agree with this perspective?
- How does this perspective influence our decision-making and understanding of God’s timing in our lives?
- We are often tempted to accept a temporary solution over God’s long-term plan.
- Why is this such a powerful temptation for us?
- In what ways do we tend to take shortcuts in our spiritual journeys, seeking immediate gratification rather than patiently following God’s plan?
- In what areas of your life do you find it challenging to wait for God’s timing, and why?
Going Deeper
- Discuss the significance of Jesus resisting based on the grounds that worshiping God is the only option.
- How would you define the sin Satan was trying to get Jesus to commit?
- How does worship serve as a tangible demonstration of surrendering one’s life to the object of worship?
- How does worship relate to our acknowledgment of Jesus’ lordship in our lives?
- How do we worship outside of a Sunday worship service?
Prayer: (Use it if it helps)
Confess those areas in your life where the urgent voice of Satan is luring you to do things your way and in your timing. Ask the Lord to grant you patience and steadfastness to follow His timing and plan.
Reminder for Next week: Read James 1:1-18
