24th May Sermon Discussion - "Dancing with Wolves"

Scripture Reference: Matt 10:16 I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.'

A. Warm Up Charade: There are 4 different creatures mentioned in this verse, choose one that is most interesting to you and share it with your group using only gestures and actions ie. without words or verbal sounds. After which, briefly share why your choice was interesting?

B. Why is it not a good idea to put sheep among wolves? Yet Jesus says “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves”. Can you recap again, who are the wolves that Jesus is warning us about”.

C. As a group, make a list of the common characteristics of “a snake” and also “a dove”.

Mark out or extract from your lists which of these are positive qualities that we can ask God for as we go about our daily lives in our homes, schools and marketplace.

D. Share one thing that the Lord has shown you that you would like to grow in your behaviour this week as you walk in wisdom like a snake and also in the purity of a Dove. Pray for one another.
