LEARNING FROM BIBLICAL FAILS
1 Corinthians 10:
Mistakes are the best teachers if we are willing to learn from them!
Q: Who is someone that you learned how not to do something from?
Whose mistakes did you learn from?
(iLL: I learned from the mistakes of my brothers.
For examples I learned that arguing and talking back never helped the situation.
Among others)
Biblical examples were a great example:
Q: What biblical fails have you learned the most from?
Israel in Judges, the Apostles during Jesus’ ministry failing usually in regards to faith… “oh you of little faith”
Q: How do we usually look at those in scripture who are heroes and triumph as opposed to those who fail?
We often put the heroes up on an unreachable pedestal as if they were different than us.
Unfortunately we look at those who fail and identify with them more and use their failures to make ourselves feel better about ours instead of using them to not make the same mistakes.
LEARNING FROM ISRAEL’S FAILURES
Avoiding the specific sins that entangled the Israelites
Idolatry:
Q: Specifically, what idols do people worship today?
Money, possessions, power, position, self, entertainment, food, etc.
Q: What was so appealing about a golden calf idol to the Israelites?
This particular Egyptian false god was a fertility god and sexual sin was associated with it.
(i.e. the “worship” involving immorality)
Q: What is so appealing about the idols that people worship today?
Sexual immorality:
Q: Why is this so easy to fall into in our culture?
The opportunities are literally everywhere and all the time.
(With technology)
The culture says its all ok and should be allowed.
Q: How can we realize the seriousness of this in God’s eyes while the culture says the opposite?
By reading and teaching and reading stories like this.
Understanding that God’s way is this can be done without insulting and degrading this gift.
Hebrews 12:
Hebrews
Q: How can we teach our little ones through the bad examples in scripture and our culture?
Telling the truth about what sexual immorality will bring.
Testing the Lord
Q: What does this mean by testing the Lord?
Like a child seeing how far they can push their parent before they snap.
Israel did this.
They did not trust and so complained.
Jesus refused to test God when Satan tempted Him.
Doing what Satan wanted would have assumed that Jesus did not trust and had to see.
Complaining
This is the one that we do not make a big deal about but is actually so very important to our relationship with God.
Q: Why do we find it so easy to complain and so hard to be content?
