Questions for week Jan 26th - Feb 1st

When Pigs Fly
Part 4
Breaking impossible Addictions

1) Just for fun: Go around the room and share something you have never done but would like to.

(You can also scroll down and go through the questions from the previous messages from When Pigs Fly)

2) We will only conquer what we are willing to confront. Why do we sometimes find it so difficult to confront our problems and addictions?

3) Read Philippians 3:13-14 in a couple different translations. What "from your past" could Satan use to cause you to live life in reverse, focusing on the past? What steps do you take, or have taken, to prevent your past from becoming your present again?

4) Does it sometimes seem like you are at the mercy of your emotions? What tends to be the triggers that set off your emotions? How do you conquer them instead of letting them conquer you?

5) We know that God is a God of the impossible. Why do you think we find it easier to believe He will do the impossible for someone else but struggle to believe it for ourselves?

Close your time with your group by reading Mark 9:23 "All things are possible to those who truly believe" to your group and encourage them to continue to believe that THEIR pigs can fly too!
