(Icebreaker) Play a round of musical chairs like we did at the beginning of this week’s sermon. You can play with the whole group, or choose just a few of the most competitive to play! (Note: This was Adam’s idea, not Jon’s!)
Read Exodus 20:2-6. As Adam explained, the Hebrew word used in “no other gods before me” does not mean “ahead of me,” it means “in my presence.” How does that change how you obey this command?
How is God’s jealousy for our hearts different than the envy he commands us against?
Adam listed seven questions to consider to find the idols in your life. Which one(s) surprised and/or convicted you the most? (Questions: What disappoints you? What do you complain about the most? Where do you make financial sacrifices? What worries you? Where is your sanctuary? What infuriates you? What are your dreams?)
Have you ever realized that you were worshiping something other than God in the past and already put it down? How did that impact your life and relationship with God?
What do you need to change in your daily life this week to put God back in his rightful place on the throne of your heart?
