How Do I Clean Up My Life? | Matthew 12:43-50

1. Jesus’ message in these verses is much less about demons and more about empty religion. What are some ways people today hide behind religion without actually being transformed by God’s grace?

2. What does sanctification mean to you? Why do you think spiritual change is so difficult?

3. In Sunday’s message we said, “Going to church and doing Christian things are not a replacement for walking with Jesus daily.” What do you think that means? What does it look like to walk with Jesus?

4. In John 16:33 Jesus said, “Take heart, for I have overcome the world.” Why should Jesus’ victory be an encouragement to us?

5. What is the difference between morality and salvation? Why do you think so many people confuse the two? What does Isaiah 64:6 teach us about this?

6. Read Isaiah 1:18. How does this verse contrast with Isaiah 64:6? What does that teach us about God?

7. What does it look like to truly fill our lives with Jesus instead of just trying to be more religious?
