Discussion Starters
1. Monday—Do you ever wonder why sin is so enticing? Do you ever struggle with you own draw to that which is wrong and harmful? Why do you think sin is so alluring?
2. Tuesday—How is the temple with God at the center behind a thick curtain a fitting picture of our reality? Why is Revelation 11:19 such a glorious image?
3. Wednesday—Is God worried when he sees the rulers of this world rage against him (Psalm 2)? Why or why not? How does this help you when you are treated unjustly?
