- Read Psalm 19:1-4a. God’s creation tells us about God. What message has God’s creation shared with you about God? Read Psalm 19:12-14. Thinking back to some of your communication struggle areas (Question 2), how could this prayer help those parts of your life?
- Who loves a good argument? Why? Who here, like Pastor Paul, stirs up arguments just for the fun of it? (even though it’s not fun for others)
- Read Jude 1:17-21. What does Jude say is/are the underlying reason(s) that a person stirs up arguments and division? On the flip side, what are 4 things he suggests Christians do to go against being argumentative and divisive? How can each of the 4 help us to fight against divisive moments? (Build each other up; pray in the power of the HS; realize God’s mercy; keep in God’s love)
- If time…read 2 Timothy 2:23-25. What does Paul share with Timothy about arguing? What should we do instead of it?
