God uses the Broken.

  • What’s one idea from the message that stood out to you? Why do you think it grabbed you?

  • What’s your favorite over-the-top show? What do you like about it?

Read: 2 Samuel 11, 2 Samuel 12:1-14, 2 Samuel 12:15-25.

1st passage: When do you find yourself most susceptible to temptation? (hungry, tired, stressed, anxious, etc.)

  • Obviously eating when you’re hungry or sleeping when you’re tired would help, but what else can you do to counteract that susceptibility?

  • What are tangible ways you can keep yourself more focused on the things of God?

2nd passage: How do typically respond when someone confronts you?

  • Should our response depend on the spirit that the person confronts you with? Why or why not?

  • How can confrontation and rebuke be a blessing?

  • Do you view it in that way? If not, what might that say about you?

3rd passage: As you read this section, do you find David’s reaction jarring?

  • Do you tend to be someone who moves with the future or dwells in the past? Why?

  • Do you think there is a time and a place for both?

  • What does it mean to you that God can bring beauty out of brokenness?

  • What does that even look like, tangibly?

Prayer: Pray for humility when confronted with your brokenness, and pray that you are loving to others in their brokenness.
