Avoid Being a Corrupt Church

Getting to Know You: 

• Talk about one of your favourite activities.

Going Deeper: 

• Read 1 Cor.8 and discuss what scripture teaches about food offered to idols. 
  • What are we free in Christ to do?
  • What are we free not to do? 
  • What are some ways we could be a stumbling block to others?

  • How could we suspend our freedom for their sakes?

• Read Phil.2:1-11. 
  • How should we be treating others in these verses? 
  • How might we put others above ourselves practically speaking? 

  • What did Jesus do to put others above himself? 

• Read 1 Cor.6:18-20. 
  • What is the best defense against sexual temptation? 
  • Why is God so interested in protecting us from sexual immorality. 

  • Discuss the following statement:  God is the author of sex and he alone has the authority to define it, not the culture around us. 

• How might we hold fast to what we have until Jesus comes?

Take it Home: 

• Evaluate to see if you’re making compromise in the marketplace or your sex life.  If so, make a change in thinking and actions.
