Life Group Questions - May 3rd

Ice Breaker: Share about a time when you realized something you believed was actually false or misleading. How did you discover the truth?


Discussion Questions:
Understanding the Message
  1. The Hunt Metaphor: Pastor Rino said we're either "the hunter or the hunted." What does this mean practically in our daily lives? Which role do you find yourself in most often?
  2. Happiness vs. Joy: The sermon distinguished between worldly happiness and biblical joy. How would you explain the difference? Can you share a time when you experienced joy despite difficult circumstances?
  3. Authority Issues: Why do you think people struggle with submission to authority? What does healthy submission look like in the church, workplace, and home?

Going Deeper
  1. Discerning False Teaching: The message warned about false teachers who "sound right" and "use the Bible" but aren't correct. What are some red flags that should alert us to false teaching? How can we develop better discernment?
  2. The Balaam Story: Read Numbers 22:22-35. What strikes you most about this account? What does it reveal about how we can rationalize disobedience when money or status is involved?
  3. Holiness vs. Success: The sermon stated, "Only holy people are conduits for God's power." How does this challenge the modern church's focus on success, growth, and happiness? What needs to change in our own hearts?

Personal Reflection
  1. Entertainment vs. Encounter: The invitation to prayer night raised the question: "When did we become a people who value entertainment over encounter?" How would you honestly answer this about your own spiritual life?
  2. The Power Question: Do you long for the power of God in your life and church? What would it look like if we truly walked in Holy Spirit power to see lives saved and delivered?

Closing Reflection:
"Seek a life aligned with divine principles, resisting the allure of unrighteousness, embracing the path of integrity and humility."
Final Question: What is one specific way you will align your life more closely with God's Word this week?
