FIREFIGHTERS: Unholy Contentment


Icebreaker:
How did you spend the last weekend of summer?

Overview:
Pastor Ben used the illustration of how when we point a finger at someone, we have three fingers pointing back at ourselves. We may have good intentions in pointing a finger at someone. Perhaps we are discontented with the current situation and would like to see changes made for the better. Those three fingers pointing back at us remind us that we also have a part to play in the situation. By having a holy discontentment, God can use us to be part of the solution.

Discussion:

Holy Contentment

Read Exodus 15:1-3.

What was the source of the people of Israel’s holy contentment?
What brings us holy contentment?

Unholy Discontentment

Read Exodus 17:1-3.

What was the source of the people of Israel’s unholy discontentment?


Unholy Contentment

Read Exodus 32:1-6.

What was the source of the people of Israel’s unholy contentment?

Read Matthew 7:1-5.

What brings us unholy contentment?
How does unholy contentment quench the Fire of the Spirit?

Holy Discontentment

Holy discontentment is a pebble in your shoe.
Where do we need to be holy discontentment?
Why doesn’t it bother us that people are lost?
What do we need to do about holy discontentment?

Prayer:
Pray for a spiritual revival in the hearts of Christian people.
