- K1: Dan scarfed down a whole box of cookies last week. Have you ever done something “world class foolish” that you still kick yourself about when you remember it?
growgroup questions (grow)
- G1: Emmie Lou (Vlogger) defines wisdom as “choosing God’s opinion over your opinion”. Why, in day to day living, is this so hard for us to do?
- G2: Dan said likened wisdom to getting a couch out of his basement while respecting the natural limitations (immovable walls, stairs etc). In what ways do you see today’s society moving away from this understanding of wisdom (Judges 21:25)?
- G3: Over and over again Proverbs gives us two options: wisdom or foolishness, and our decisions have real world consequences: Hurting or healing (12:18), Consulting or clashing (14:1), Create or annihilate (14:6, Matthew 7). Think of a few other ways that choosing wisdom vs folly leads to real consequence in our lives.
- G4: Wisdom is all about foundation / geology. Compare Matthew 7:25 and 27. What are the differences or similarities between the two examples? How does verse 26 shed light on these two verses?
- G5: Wisdom is all about location / geography. Compare Proverbs 9:13-18 with 9:1-6. List the differences or similarities between the character and words of the two women. Why do you think Solomon paints wisdom and folly as people rather than ideas (also known as “anthropomorphism”)?
- G6: Read Luke 2:49-52. How did Jesus’ decision to be ‘in His Father’s house’ have an impact on His growth in verse 52? How does this apply to you as a son or daughter of God?
growgroup questions (show)
- S1: Pray Psalm 84 to God this week. Find a quiet place and read it slowly and out loud to God. Is there any phrase or sentence that God seems to be bringing out to you? Throughout the rest of the week, continually pray this phrase to God as an act of devotion and faith and ask Him to do a new work in your heart and life.
