Teaching Notes:
- Jesus isn’t calling us to be fans sitting in the stands of faith. Jesus is calling us to be followers competing on the field of faith.
- Selective obedience is disobedience in disguise.
- What you allow in the moment might own you in the future.
- Sin never needs a good reason. Sin just needs a good excuse.
Reflection Questions:
1. Where do you see “selective obedience” showing up in your own life right now? What’s one area where you’ve been tempted to do things your way instead of God’s way?
2. How does understanding that God gives both unconditional promises (salvation) and conditional blessings (connected to obedience) change the way you view His commands?
3. When you become aware of sin or disobedience, are you more likely to make excuses or to own it? Why do you think it’s so hard to take responsibility?
4. Can you think of a time in your life when choosing obedience, even when it was difficult, led to unexpected blessings or growth? Why is obedience so important?
5. In what ways might God be calling you out of the stands and onto the field in this season? What’s holding you back from getting in the game?
