Prioritize Your Life

1. Why do you think it is so difficult to identify and overcome sin? Does the Bible give us any guidelines to help?

2. Do you think we struggle to take sin/idols seriously enough? How can we juggle being serious about sin/idols, while also not leaning towards legalism and condemnation?

3. Jesus tells this man in verse 60 to ‘Go and proclaim the kingdom of God.’ What do you think it means to proclaim the kingdom of God?

4. Why do you think finances are such a struggle for people today? Is that the issue with the young man in Luke 9? Do you think a person can fully follow Jesus without having control over their finances?

5. What does it mean to honor the Lord with your wealth (Proverbs 3:9)?

6. What do you think are the top 3 reasons people struggle to follow Jesus? What would your advice be to a person struggling to set aside something in order to be more faithful to the Lord?

7. We said that God’s expectation for our faithfulness is immediate, not a future command. What do you think that means? Do you struggle with delayed obedience in your faith journey?
