Intro Info
(Don't forget to click "Save Event" at the top of this page to have this for future reference)

• Announcements: announcements may be found at the bottom of Sunday's YouVersion Point Notes (see above link) [do not review during group]

• God Moments: last week, we were challenged to open our eyes to see God moving in the everyday moments of our lives. How have you seen God working, either in your life or in the life of another, over the past week? Did God answer any prayer requests that you had shared with the group previously?

** Icebreaker - What is your strategy when you play Monopoly? Buy everything you land on? Buy certain colored properties? Railroads - yes or no? **

Focus Verse. Have someone read 1 John 4:1.

To demonstrate the importance of discerning false teaching, let's play two truths and a lie. Pick two people to share three facts about themselves - two of them need to be true, one needs to be false. The group must decide which fact is false for each person. Be convincing!

** Have you ever heard a "God told me to" story that didn't seem legit? **

Sean taught that there are three questions to ask to determine if a statement is really from God or not. Let's discuss.

Let's practice checking ourselves before we wreck ourselves! For each of the following scenarios, answer the three questions from above to evaluate the likelihood that the statement is from God. Does it promote sin? Does it create selfishness? Does it result in satisfaction?

Search Scripture together to help determine your answer. Please note - you won't get a clear answer for all of them (they aren't all necessarily bad). Discuss what additional information you would need to make your decision. Don't be hasty in drawing a conclusion. Take time to talk and deliberate each scenario.

SCENARIO 1

"God told me to not go to a local church - He's everywhere, so I can just worship Him from home."

SCENARIO 2

"God told me to quit my job and move to Tennessee. That job pays more and has more opportunity for growth."

SCENARIO 3

"God told me to marry you, or God told me to marry him/her."

SCENARIO 4

"God told me to not tithe until I'm out of debt - after all, a borrower is slave to the lender."

SCENARIO 5

"God told me to attend Penn State University for college."

SCENARIO 6

"God told me to buy a new car."

Prayer 4U - Have everyone put their name in a hat, then take turns picking a name to pray for this week. Pray that God would give your person discernment when someone brings up a "God told me to" situation.

Guided Prayer - (Leader, include the following in your prayer time). Father, help us to be so in tune with your Word and your character that we can tell when statements are from You and when they are not. Amen.
