A Disciple...

● Feed my soul?

Scripture Study Tip:
Ask these three questions when reading…
1. What does it say?
2. What does it mean?
3. How do I apply it to my daily life?
Scripture: Proverbs 5, 6:20-7:27
Title: Abundant Marriage
BIG IDEA: Its one step at a time to disaster. Direction not intention determines destination.
READ Proverbs 7:1-5
What does it tell us about God’s commandments and teachings? How can you treasure them?
Where is there disunity in your marriage? If you are not married, which of the world’s standards of marriage are you believing over the Lord’s?
Where do you need to flee sexual immorality and pursue reconciliation in your relationships?
Read Proverbs 7:6-27
Direction not intention determines your destination. Sin rarely happens all at once. It’s the result of many decisions.
What steps led the young man to sexual immorality?
At what points could he have repented, changed direction and turned around before his decisions led to sin?
How can you identify the “corners” in your life?
What do you do to turn the right way at the corners?
Love is about serving. Lust is about taking.
Married couples: How are you serving and how are you taking?
Singles: In your current or past relationships, how are/were you serving and taking?
Challenge:
1. Confessing is telling the truth. Come to Jesus and tell Him the truth about your sexual immorality and receive His grace.
2. Read Romans 8:1 out loud over yourself and commit to memorizing it this week.
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
3. Family Time
Take time every day this week to pray with your spouse concerning the purity of your children. Speak God’s Word over them and ask the Lord to help you have age-appropriate conversations with your children regarding gender, dating, marriage and sex.

Scripture: Proverbs 1:1-15
Title: Wisdom for The Abundant Life
BIG IDEA: Wisdom in this life is doing what the Good Shepherd tells us to do.
READ Proverbs 1:1-7
In Proverbs 1:7, the author talks about fearing the Lord.
What does fearing the Lord mean?
What does it tell us about God’s character?
If wisdom in this life is doing what the Good Shepherd tells you to do, what needs to change in your life to take this more seriously?
If every step of obedience leads to life and every step of disobedience leads to death and destruction how does this impact the way you view decisions in your life?
How does Proverbs define wisdom?
Read John 1:1-14
With this in mind, how does Proverbs point us to the good news of the Gospel?
Direction, NOT intention determines our destination.
How do we determine the right path?
Where in your life is your direction not aligned with your intentions and what can you do today to change that?
CHALLENGE:
1. Fear God so you can know Him more and TRUST HIM
2. Acknowledge that Wisdom became a human and came to this earth to die and raise again for you.
3. Sit down as a family or Biblical Community and share different times you have chosen the wise path and times you have chosen the destructive path. Talk about what happened as a result and how God’s love for us is why He tells us to obey Him.
Constant Reminder
Judas was a consumer not a worshiper… Mary was a worshiper.
Consumer: its all about me Worshiper: its all about Jesus
Consumer: rolls up and says I hope this church meets all my needs. A Worshiper pulls up and says I hope this church points me to THE ONE WHO HAS MET ALL MY NEEDS.
Consumer: comes in and says this music better be good. A worshiper says I hope the Worship Leader points me to THE GOOD GOOD FATHER.
A consumer says I want to be entertained by todays sermon… A worshiper says I want some Cross centered preaching that makes a difference.
A consumer says it better be fun for my kids. A worshiper says this better equip me to disciple my family.
A consumer says this better make me sit and feel comfortable… A worshiper says this better SEND ME OUT!
Six questions for gospel-centered discernment. Memorize and ask these six questions to discern and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in your life.
G - God's glory: Will this decision primarily be about my glory or God's glory?
O - Other Christians: What do other gospel-saturated, Christ-centered, wise friends say about this upcoming decision?
S - Scripture: Does the Bible command, permit, or prohibit this decision? What does inerrant, infallible Scripture say?
P - Prayer: Have you abided with, rested in, asked from, listened to and waited on God in this decision over time?
E - Evangelism: Will this decision give me the opportunity to share the gospel and invite people to faith in Jesus?
L - Lifestyle: Will this decision lead me to live a lifestyle of love marked by the Fruit of the Spirit and holiness?
