Life group Questions for the Week of March 16th:

James 4:1-3 - What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.



REFLECT & APPLY

1. Define family as you see it now. Has your definition changed over time?

2. What ideals were you given growing up that remain important to you now?

3. How did you choose your friends as a child? a teen? a young adult? How do you choose your friends now?

4. How did you decide who would be a friend in your inner circle? (Those you would trust to listen, pray with you, offer advice, offer wisdom, be an accountability partner)

5. How have you led your family? What ideals were/are important to you as you have framed this out over time?

6. How have you developed your parenting so that your children could/would obey you?

7. Did you change your parenting from how you were parented? If so, how? If not, why not?

8. Did you keep some of the discipline that your parents used as they raised you?

9. How can you change a negative family dynamic (whether with your current family or the family you were raised with)  to improve communication or relationship(s)?

10. Think about an event or events that changed your thinking about your role as husband or wife? How did it change you? Does it align with Scripture?
