Life Group
Family:
We have decided
to do something different during our Life Group time on Saturday, November 30th. We will NOT meet for LG on the 30th. Instead of meeting together, I have a
challenge that you can accomplish during our normal Life Group hour.
After the Lake
Pointe church service on Saturday, I want you to choose either a date night or
a family night. During this time
together, review the material below that is related to our Exodus study. The
main title is “No Other Gods”.
1.
Read Exodus
32: 1-8
2.
Read
Exodus 34: 10-17
3.
Identify
actual idols and gods that we place in front of the one true God.
a. Examples: Family, work, money, kid’s
activities or sports, golf, your iphone, TV, or other time related issues that do
not leave room for God.
b. Get real and relevant. Don’t just tap the brakes and do a
drive-by.
c. Talk about Hollywood making golden statues
as awards that are worshipped.
d. What fights for bandwidth or space in your
mind/heart?
e. When you make up your daily schedule, where
does time with your creator rank in importance (this is my biggest struggle).
4.
If you
are using this hour as family time, watch this clip on your smart phone: http://www.bluefishtv.com/Store/Downloadable_Video_Illustrations/5711/God_at_the_Center
a. What were Kallie’s idols?
b. What are some steps that you can take to
remove the idols make God the central figure in your life?
5.
If you
are using this hour as date night, watch this clip on your smart phone:
Caleb and Catherine have been married for
seven years, but their marriage has spiraled down to the place where it seems
divorce is inevitable. Caleb’s father, John, brought Caleb a 40 Day Marriage
Restoration book that Caleb used, at first reluctantly, to restore his
marriage. In this scene Caleb
confronts a destructive idol in his life – internet pornography – and decides
“no more addictions!”
a. Is this too extreme?
b. Read Exodus 32: 27-29. Was Moses too extreme?
c. Why do we fight God and then try to replace
Him with other Gods?
d. What extreme, radical steps can you do to
eradicate idols/gods in your life?
e. How could these radical steps make a lasting
memory for your children and affect your legacy?
Be Intentional.
