The "F" Word: We're Afraid of Losing Control

SCRIPTURES FROM SUNDAY:
Genesis 11:1-9; 4:6-7; 6:5-7; 9:1-7, Romans 8:5-9, Ephesians 1:22-23, Colossians 3:12-15

REFLECT/DISCUSS:
Q: How have you worked to build a sense of control, identity and security in your life?

Q: Why do you think God was displeased with the construction project in Genesis 11?

Q: When was the last time your sense of control was scattered? What happened? How did it feel? What did you learn?

Q: “When we try to control our worlds, we often lose control of our selves.” Agree or disagree & explain.

Q: Which is harder in your opinion- controlling your world- or yourself? Why?

Q: If Romans 8 is right and we are either controlled by our spiritual nature or our corrupt one- which is running your life right now? Is that the way you want it?
