INTRODUCTION
  • Greatest fictional movie (or TV) hero of all time who didn’t have superpowers… defend your answer!
  • What’s the most dangerous situation you’ve ever found yourself in?

Life is dangerous!  It’s almost as if everything in this world seems intent on damaging us in some way.  God knows full well this is the situation we find ourselves.  That’s why He gives us guidance on protecting ourselves from what life throws at us as well as what we dangerously navigate ourselves toward.


STUDY  [tap on scripture to read]
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ  1 Corinthians 6:19-20 
  • What does it mean to you that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit?
  • For you personally, is the pursuit of physical health influenced by the health of your relationship with God?  Why or why not?

God cares about us… all parts of us!  He is not only concerned with our eternal soul.  Jesus came to give us life to the full.  In body, mind, and spirit, we are challenged to go after all that God has for us in this life with His help and as He leads us.  


HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ  Joshua 24:14-15 
  • What is the difference between fearing the Lord and serving the Lord?
  • What area of your life/family/etc. do you have the most difficulty fearing and serving God?

Having the reverence for God that we would submit to His will is the best place to start.  But God desires so much more for us.  He has called us to be co-laborers in His kingdom; working diligently to be world changers for Jesus.  This starts in our own lives, then transforms our families, and our entire spheres of influence.
