TEACHING: The Forgotten War, Part 5

QUESTIONS FOR PERSONAL EVALUATION FROM PASTOR MIKE

1. Does the wake of your life tend to leave a trail of conflict? Are you the common denominator?
2. If you are married, is there a pattern of unnecessary conflict between you and your spouse? Why?
3. What would it look like for you to repent of those areas of conflict and move toward humility?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

1. What is one thing from this message you hope to discuss as a group?
2. How would you define wisdom? Who is someone you consider to be wise, and why?
3. Read and discuss James 3:13 – 4:10. What do these verses tell you the nature of man? What do they tell us about God?
4. What are the two types of wisdom in the verses above? What are the characteristics of each? Why is it important that we be able to distinguish between the two?
5. Why do we tend to believe we can solve our own problems apart from God? How do you see this play out in culture and society? How do you see it play out in your own life?
6. What is the relationship between true wisdom and humility? How does true wisdom lead to humility?
7. How does the gospel allow us to consider others as better than ourselves (Philippians 2:3)?
8. How can we grow in humility? How can we grow in heavenly wisdom?
9. Can you discern an area of your life where God is leading you humble yourself before Him (James 4:10)? Spend some time in prayer with your small group about this.
