The Broken Clock: Week 2 Discussion Questions and Leader Guide (4.22.12)

Speaker: John McGowan

Leaders: This week, we will build on the discussion in Week 1 to begin to realign our calendars. We suggest that the Biblical way to realign our calendars requires two simultaneous steps: (1) to fall more in love with Jesus and His priorities and (2) to schedule around the Spirit’s desires for our life. There are tough concepts this week. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself! Remember that whenever God’s Word and Godly relationships get together, it is the Spirit’s work to transform people. We’ve designed these questions to take about 70-85 minutes. Given your group dynamic, you may spend more, or less. As the group leader, feel free to use the questions you like, don’t use the questions you don’t, expand discussion on certain areas, limit discussion on other areas, and go on Spirit-led tangents.

Leader Prep Time: Watch message here (35 minutes), Review questions and guide here (30 minutes). Download member questions only here
Leader Questions/Comments:

• Women contact colleen.hunter@mcleanbible.org or trisha.hicks@mcleanbible.org
• Men contact adam.schwenk@mcleanbible.org or mike.grubbs@mcleanbible.org
• Couples contact trisha.hicks@mcleanbible.org

In this message, John McGowan outlines:

• A Biblical theology of rest
• The spiritual discipline of “worshipful rest”

1. This past week, John reminded us of the importance of the discipline of “worshipful rest,” creating space to reflect on His work and His goodness. What do you think about that definition?
   Leaders: Use this question to engage your group in discussion.
2. Let’s look at our activity logs that we did last week. How did you engage in “worshipful rest” this past week? How did your calendar line up (or not line up) with your priorities? (optional: Did anyone notice anything unexpected or surprising from doing this exercise?)
   Leaders: The point of this exercise is to see if people had alignment between their priorities and their calendars. Somebody in the group might have had perfect alignment. Celebrate that! Ask them to share with the group how they do it. But probably most people will not have had alignment. Engage every person in the group on this question. If group members did not complete the exercise, that’s ok – ask them to guess and move on to the next question.
    
   On the issue of priorities, your group members will probably notice that most of their time was not spent on “Priority #1” but on “work/ministry.” For most of us, “work/ministry” will consume the bulk of our time. Calling something “Priority #1” doesn’t mean that it has to get more time than all the other priorities. It just means that we give “Priority #1” all the time it needs: in a conflict between two priorities, our preference is to devote the necessary time first to the higher priority.
3. Most of us battle with keeping our calendars in line with our priorities. Why is that so? John McGowan explained that the reason is that “our sinful flesh constantly betrays our heart’s priorities.” How do we deal with our “sinful flesh” so that we can live out our “heart’s priorities?” What does Romans 8:6-12 tell us about the flesh?
   Leaders: The relevant points from this passage are: the repeated use of the word, “mind” (8:6-8); that the Christian is not “in the flesh” but “in the Spirit” (8:9-11); and the exhortation not “to live according to the flesh” (8:12). Essentially, the application of this passage is that we are more able to live out our “heart’s priorities” as we focus on making choices (the “mind”) that reflect an increasing love for Jesus and His priorities. We do that not to get Jesus to love us more (legalism) but because He already loves us and has transferred us from a life “in the flesh” to a life “in the Spirit” (grace). Depending on the spiritual maturity of your group, you may choose to focus on any one, or all three, of these points in your discussion—but all groups will focus on the “mind” element in Question 4 below.
4. Let’s dig a little bit deeper into this conflict between our “sinful flesh” and our “heart’s priorities.” In Romans 8:6-8, we see the repeated use of the phrase, “set the mind.” Let’s read also Romans 12:1-2 and 1 Peter 1:13-16. (Read these passages out loud.) Clearly there is something to the mind’s role in putting to death the “sinful flesh.” How do we practically engage our minds in this battle against the “sinful flesh?”
   Leaders: Some ideas how we might do that: renewing our resolve to fight each morning, seeking accountability with other Christians, memorizing and reminding ourselves of the truth, remembering the Lord’s past faithfulness, intentionally savoring the sufficiency of Christ, etc.
    
   Engage your group appropriately on this point, leaving no room for legalism but inspiring action based on the person and work of Jesus Christ. If your group struggles on this point, we’d suggest supplementing this study with Galatians 5:16-18 where (here and in Romans 12) it is the Spirit Himself that is an actor against the flesh. Only the person who by faith believes in the person and work of Jesus Christ has the Spirit and His power to wage this battle against the “sinful flesh.” Remember that the ultimate battle against the flesh has been won by Christ’s death and resurrection!
5. What changes in your calendar do you need to make this next week? How can this group hold you accountable?
   Leaders: Engage every person in the group, and ask them to be specific. Remember that even one small change this next week is a great step.
