Sermon Questions/Thoughts -
* Read 1 Kings 20:39-42. This is your wakeup call! - Discuss your first reaction to hearing the prophet and king story and its connection to you.
* Chris said, "You are the person you're supposed to be watching. You are the most suited to deceit, you are the one who's most able to hurt yourself. Your life is snatched when you're not paying attention." - What do you need to do to pay attention? What do you need to stop in order to pay attention?
* Read Prov 4:23, Jude 1:21, Jer 17:9 - Discuss what you can do to keep from deceit or tricking yourself. "Paying attention" isn't enough - we need concrete answers for issues that keep us from our future self.
* Remind everyone of the Two Things To Guard:
1) Giving In (distractions and lies) and 2) Giving Up (difficulty and struggle)
* What are common distractions you have in your life? Are there areas of struggle that you've just given up on? Can you go back to those places of distraction and struggle and make new or different plans?
* Read Ps. 81:16 - God wants to bring goodness in the midst of the difficult stuff! He will pull honey from the rock!
