QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

Read Galatians 1:10. What stood out to you in the sermon this week and what did God reveal to you in the Scriptures, maybe for the first time?

In what situations and with what people are you most tempted to seek the approval of man over God?

What decision, conversation, or action step are you delaying because of what others might say or think about you?

What can you change so you can focus on what God’s calling you to do?

With social media it’s easier than ever to compare. Comparison kills freedom and contentment. How?

What can you do to decrease how much you participate in comparison?
Share a time where you took a break from social media? What were the results?

The reality is, the approval of God can’t be sought or earned, only received. Yet, Paul talks about seeking the approval of God. What does he mean then, by seeking the approval of God, and how does that free you?

The book of Galatians is about the freedom found in Jesus. Yet, Paul also says he can be content in all situations because of his identity as a bond servant of Jesus. How can both of those things be true at the same time? Read Philippians 4:10-13 and Romans 1:1.

​ACTION STEP

A Disciple...Loves All People, Discovers Identity in Jesus, Deepens Relationship with Jesus
1) Proverbs 29:25 says, “The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.” Do an internet search to find other scriptures to help you when you are struggling with the approval of man. Memorize your favorite one and share it with the group next week.

2) In your own life and family, how can you set up guard rails around entertainment & social media to allow you to walk in freedom and prevent you from falling into the comparison trap? Create a plan to implement in the next week. ​
