To be a true disciple of Jesus you have to turn away from the enslavement of sin.

“Someone else is getting rich off your sin.” Pastor Bil Cornelius

• If you could eat as much of any food (or drink) as you want without any negative impact on your health, what would it be?
• Name a vice others have that you don’t just don’t get.
• If you could be in any fictional universe what would you choose?
• Where do people seem to be trapped today?

• We are always going to be committed to Christ or a slave to sin. How does that mindset change how we should live?
• What is the importance of remembering what God has brought you from? What are His intentions when He asks us not go back?
• Name two ways our lives should look different from the world.
• Why do we fall back into our previous bad habits and sin? What would prevent a fall back?

• Have you ever said “I’ll start tomorrow,” but never did it? Why didn’t you start?
• What has God been teaching you during this time of isolation? How have you seen God work in your life this week?
• What enslavement has God helped you overcome?
• What is God calling you to leave behind? Where do you feel you’re enslaved?

Dear Jesus, thank you for freeing us our sin. Help us to live lives of gratitude for what you have done as we share your love with others. In your name we pray, Amen.

• Life, especially a Christian life, is not meant to be done alone. That’s why we have LifeGroups! Through the power of the Holy Spirit past habits can be put to rest and we can walk into the new life God has for us. Talk to someone in your LifeGroup and ask them for accountability to keep bad habits in the past.
• All throughout Scripture we see people creating false idols to worship. That has not changed even in 2020. Identify a false god in your life that is stealing attention from Jesus and surrender it to God. Ask your accountability partner to hold you to it.
• If it is worth doing for God’s kingdom, it is worth doing today rather than putting it off to tomorrow. Determine what sin you need to set aside, and commit to walking away from that sin now. Determine what good and godly habit will replace that sin, and commit to doing it today, tomorrow, and the day after that.
• As a LifeGroup, come up with an idea of how you can use your collective spare time to bless the community around you. Put that plan in motion this week and make a difference.
