SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Spiritual growth happens when we receive new knowledge and then apply it to our lives. This always happens best in the context of community. Take time this week and engage in these additional scriptures and questions on your own. Then, discuss them with your Small Group.“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend” Proverbs 27:17
GETTING STARTED
Looking back at your notes, what stood out to you most this week? Was there something the group can help you understand more clearly?
GOING DEEPER
Do you tend to think of spiritual warfare as part of the normal Christian life or as an exception to the rule?
Describe a situation when you knew you were in the right battle and on the right side, but you used the wrong weapons. What was the result? How might using power, politics, and money to fight for Jesus result in something that we do not want?
Why is it so important to realize that our real enemy is in the cosmic realm rather than the human realm?How can this help us love people around us who often hurt us?
WHERE SCRIPTURE MEETS LIFE
Think of a spiritual battle you are currently facing. Look again at the “four things a soldier of Christ must know.” What is God saying to you?
As you reflect on the geography of salvation, where is the “You Are Here” arrow on the map?
Pray for one another.
