Sermon: Renewal Part 2 - Renewing of Your Mind
Everyone is encouraged to bring a Bible (Phone apps are good for reading together in the same translation. Study Bibles give help with interpretation.)
Questions:
1. Have you ever experienced having your mind dramatically changed about something? How did that happen?
2. Review: The sermon looked at Romans 12:1-2 where we see that true transformation comes from having our minds renewed. What stood out to you in this sermon? What do you remember about each of the main points (seen above)? Do you have any questions to bring up?
3. Review Romans 12:1-2
a) In what ways can Christians feel pressure to conform to the pattern of this world?
b) What are some of the sources of this pressure? Have you experienced this personally?
c) How does having our minds renewed help us to not conform?
4. Read Psalm 1:1-3
a) What are the three postures (or positions) mentioned in verse 1? Do you see a possible progression here? What might this represent?
b) According to this Psalm, how can we be influenced in the right way?
c) What does it mean to meditate on God’s law? Share with each other some effective ways that you meditate on God’s word.
d) Have you seen the benefits mentioned in verse 3 in your own life?
5. If you feel free, share with your group an area of struggle in which you need your mind renewed. Commit to pray for and encourage each other as you take steps toward the renewal of your mind.
6. Pray for each other now. Invite the Lord to lead you and set you free from wrong patterns of thinking (and associated behavior).
