What defines your faith? Whether or not your prayers are answered? A new way to define your faith was offered. A definition that challenged the way you prayed, the way you thought, and the way you lived. Would you have it in you to keep the faith?

For an answer to this, check out Andy Stanley from North Point Community Church in his series Faith, Hope and Luck. Watch it online at www.northpoint.org

Before you watch it, leave your own answer to this question.

school has been out for a few weeks now, and the website is not being updated as often as it is during the school year. But no worries, it will be updated during the summer, but not as often

for our last meeting we are having a cookout……in front of the student center @ 12:00pm……free food and a full band

We see it all the time. Young athletes failing to realize their full potential. Emerging entrepreneurial organizations losing their momentum. Aspiring politicians squandering their influence through poor moral decisions. Promising careers starting out so strong only to end up with disappointing results. And in each case, we ask the question, what went wrong? King Solomon was no exception. He had a meteoric rise to leadership blessed with all the wisdom, wealth, power, and influence - the likes of which the world had never seen before. Yet his life took a different trajectory. What went wrong?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Do you know any promising professionals that never lived up to their potential? What were the reasons for their disappointing outcomes?
2. As you look at your own life, when have you made a series of little decisions that have resulted in you being in an unfavorable position?
3. Read 1 Kings 11:4. Solomon’s trajectory away from God happened slowly. Is this an accurate reflection of compromise or are there singular decisions that can wreck your life?
4. Read 1 Peter 5:8. Peter encourages his readers to stay alert for there is a prowling enemy. Do you see any evidence of the enemy’s advances in your life?
5. What steps can you take to stay alert? How can you avoid being lulled to sleep like Solomon?
6. If you could address a letter to yourself, what advice would you give?

THINK ABOUT IT

“Oh it’s not a big deal. I can handle it.”
That’s not a successful strategy for staying alert. That’s being incredibly passive and leaving yourself vulnerable. Be proactive. When you consider your friendships, are they inspiring you towards Jesus or away? When you consider your TV/movie/internet viewing patterns, how are you staying alert? How are you practicing selflessness to remind yourself that life isn’t about you? What other areas of your life do you need to stay alert?

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

This week, write a note to yourself that addresses this question: “If you could somehow give yourself advice, what would you say?” Leave it in a place where you can read it in several weeks.

CHANGING YOUR MIND

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:8

• And many Non-Christians do not want to deal with Christians
• We need to be willing to talk to the people we don’t want to

1. How have negative words that have been used of you shaped your life?
2. When have you used words that were damaging to someone else? What effect did these words have?
3. Read James 3:2-6. Why is it so important that we watch what we say? What do our words say about us?
4. Read James 3:7-12. Why is it so difficult to control the words that we use?
5. How can you begin to take responsibility for the words that you use?
6. What should you do once you find yourself using words that have hurt someone else?
