Putting God in His Place
(1 Samuel 5:1-12)

Main Idea:
The only way to conquer life is to let yours be captured by Jesus Christ.

-

Wherever God goes…

  1. …other gods are sure to fall.

  2. …sin won’t be able to stand.

  3. …cries go up to heaven.

 

 
  1. How have you put God in a box - to manipulate, minimize, or distance yourself from him in some way?

    >> What would happen if you simply “let” God be himself?

  2. Who or what is God’s biggest competition for glory in life?

    >> Obvious false gods? Other spiritual powers and practices?

    >> Subtle ones? “Christian” superstitions, “helpful” things, etc.?

  3. What about God would you like to censor, avoid, or rewrite?

    >> What part of you would feel better if God changed? Why?

  4. How can Jesus turn any dread of God’s arrival into delight?
