“Your Last Guilt Trip”
LIFE: What were some of your favorite moments from 2025?
ENGAGE THE MESSAGE:
- Read Romans 8:1, Philippians 4:8, Colossians 3:2-3.
- What do you think of when you hear “brain wash”? How about in the context of routine cleaning, like washing the car or cleaning your home? When was the last time you washed your mind?
- Why can’t you start with “willpower” to make a change in your thought life?
- What thoughts do you rehearse most each day? Are you aware of the conversations you are having with yourself?
- What is the difference between conviction and condemnation?
- How have you felt condemnation in your life? And did you turn back to Jesus? In what ways can you continue to combat the unworthy thoughts?
- What things are you grateful for?
MAKE DISCIPLES: Who can you invite to come alongside you and help wash the unworthy thoughts from the brain?
