GROUP QUESTIONS

 At work, has somebody ever asked you to do something that you know they can’t do or won’t do? What were your thoughts when they were asking you? How might it go differently if you know they had done this before and were successful?

// Discussion Questions

1. “You better change your attitude, young man.” How do we change our attitude toward something? List some specific steps needed to do this.

2. Read 1 Peter 4.1. We are to have “the same attitude” as Christ did when he was tempted as we are tempted, and yet didn’t give in to sin. What is “that same attitude,” and how can we develop it?

3. Read Romans 8:14-15 Aaron said a relationship built around obligation won’t be able to withstand many trials. Our relationship with God is grounded in God’s acceptance of us despite our flaws. What is freeing about knowing God accepts us even though we are imperfect?

4. Read 1 Peter 4:3-4 Aaron said we sometimes sabotage God by changing our desires because of fear. What are your fears in letting God lead your life? Could it cost you something? What are some examples of what changed desires could cost?

5. Our desires are to align with God’s. What is your role in the alignment? How does obedience play into this process? // Challenge: Choose one of the steps you listed above in how to change an attitude and apply it to an area you know needs to be aligned with God.
