Holy Icks | Week 5
Small Group Discussion
Opening Question:
What’s one routine or process in your life that you’re really particular about? (Could be your morning routine, how you organize something, etc.)
Key Scriptures:
Key Takeaways:
- PROCESS above PURPOSE: Your heart matters more than your habits. God isn’t impressed by our spiritual routines if our hearts aren’t fully surrendered to Him.
- STUDY without SURRENDER: Knowledge without obedience is deception. It’s not enough to know what the Bible says – we must do what it says.
- RITUAL not RELATIONSHIP: You can’t earn what’s already been given. Jesus loves you in your brokenness. You don’t have to fix yourself before coming to Him.
Discussion Questions:
- How does the concept of being a ‘clean cup on the outside but filthy on the inside’ challenge you to examine the alignment between your public persona and private reality?
- In what ways might you be using religious activities or spiritual language to avoid actually being godly in your daily choices and relationships?
- How does understanding that Jesus loves you at your lowest point, without needing to earn it, change your approach to coming to Him with your brokenness?
- What practical steps can you take this week to move from merely studying God’s Word to actively living it out in your workplace, home, and community?
