Discussion Questions

1. Elijah asks Israel, "How long will you waver between two opinions?" Where in your life right now, are you genuinely wavering, not between God and atheism, but between God and God-plus-something?

2. When you are tempted to build another altar in your heart, is it because you don't believe God is real, or because you don't fully trust that He's enough? What does that distinction expose about your heart?

3. Josiah changed the nation's hands (behavior) but couldn't change its heart (belief). Where have you mistaken modified behavior for a transformed heart in your own walk?

4. Believers are called "sojourners and exiles", and not residents. Does your bank account, calendar, and grip on comfort look like someone holding their address loosely, or someone who's settled in Babylon for good?

5. The sermon warned against two failures: reflecting the world in a worldly way, or retreating from it in a cowardly way. Which is your actual temptation: assimilation or isolation? What aspect of the gospel do you need to be reminded of to address that?
