// Small Group Questions

1. What did God teach you through this passage and sermon? Share the work of God in your heart with the group.

2. What questions did this passage and sermon raise in your mind? This would be a great opportunity as a group to use the Ask a Pastor feature and that way we can address it either directly or in the messages in the future.

3. Why does God’s Word associate anger, hatred, and discord with murder (see also Matthew 5:21-24; I John 3:11-17)?

4. What is your area of growth needed concerning the inward qualities discussed in James 4:7-10? What can be done to address this need?

5. What does it mean to have the heart and mind of God in conflict?
