Icebreaker:
How do you feel about milk? Lover or hater?
What is your favorite ice cream?
Overview:
I have never been a milk lover. I can’t remember ever
drinking a whole glass of the stuff. I used only enough milk to wet the cereal
in the bowl. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with a cow’s milk allergy. There
is nothing that will make you want something more than not being able to have
it. A tall, frosty glass of chocolate milk, a solid chunk of sharp Cheddar, a
double scoop of cookies and cream ice cream or a long string of mozzarella. .
.these are the things of which my dreams are made. Why is it that we are surrounded
by the Spirit of God, but we have little desire for the warmth of His Fire
within us? We are spoiled children who are satisfied with milk. Our lack of hunger
is fighting God’s fire.
Discussion:
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for
righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Matthew 5:6 ESV.
Infants Need Milk

that by it you may grow up into salvation. 1 Peter 2:2 ESV.
What is the purpose
of spiritual milk?
Not Trying to
Understand
Read Hebrews
5:11-14.
Why is milk not
enough?

ignoring the message?

child who never progresses to solid food?
What happens to a
Christian?

for the Mature

need to be mature?

responsibility is it to learn to eat solid food?

from being hungry?
Prayer:
Pray for a spiritual hunger in yourself and our
congregation.
