The Wise, Foolish & Evil
New Endings: Making Way for What’s Next, Part 3
January 19, 2025

Discussion Questions:

  1. Have someone read Psalm 41:9 and 1 Thessalonians 5:11 aloud. 
    Reflect on the key relationships in your life. Do the ones that come to mind build you up or tear you down? Share about these relationships if you feel comfortable. 

  2. Read Proverbs 9:7-8 to the group. If you’re honest, which category do you think you most often fall into, and why? The sermon mentioned that we all have moments of being wise, foolish, or even evil. What steps can you take to grow in wisdom?

  3. The sermon emphasized different strategies for fools (boundaries and consequences) and evil people (protection and immediate endings). How might you implement these strategies in a current situation? 

  4. Who are the wise people in your life that you lean on for support and guidance? How can you intentionally cultivate relationships with wise individuals?

  5. Are there any relationships in your life that you feel God may be calling you to begin, change, or end? How can you seek wisdom in making that decision and align your relationships more closely with God’s will for your life?
