Opening Prayer Prompts For Group:
P-Praise God that He sees us clearly and helps us in hard times and places.
R- Repent of where you have justified something you know isn't right.
A-Ask God for clarity to see compromise clearly in your life.
Y-Yield Surrender areas where you've been trying to blend what you believe with the world to feel more comfortable and accepted.
Ice Breaker: Have you ever gone along with something just to not feel left out?
The Sermon Setup: Read Revelation 2:8-11 Smyrna
- Why do you think Jesus describes Himself with the “double-edged sword”?
- What is the connection between Balaam and what’s happening in Pergamum?
- Why is compromising our beliefs with culture more dangerous than outright rejection of faith?
- Why is it easier to say “I won’t deny Jesus” than to actually live differently for Jesus?
Going Deeper
- Where might you be tempted to adjust what God says to match what feels right?
- What is one area where you’ve caught yourself thinking "That’s not that big of a deal…”?
- What lies does culture tell us about happiness that are hard to resist?
- How can you tell when something that is influencing you has started to pull you away from what God says is right?
- What does walking repentance together look like, in a way that cares for each other, shows love and compassion, and holds on to Biblical truth?
- What is one way we can help each other avoid being pulled into compromise?
