Here's our Discussion Questions from Wednesday night 2/4/26
Just for Fun:
  • Is a hamburger a sandwich?
  • If you had to replace your hands with two everyday objects, what are you picking?
Thinking Deeper:
(Based upon Numbers 22:1-20)
  • God already told Balaam “no” in verse 12, yet Balaam asks again in verse 19. What are some ways we keep asking God about something because we’re hoping He’ll change His answer? Can you think of any examples? Discuss
  • Balaam says he wouldn’t disobey God “even for a house full of silver and gold.”  Why do you think the reward is already on his mind, and what does that reveal about where temptation usually starts?
  • Balaam lets Balak’s messengers stay overnight instead of sending them away.  What does it look like today to “entertain the enemy” instead of shutting the door completely?
  • Balaam doesn’t openly rebel—he just keeps the conversation going.  Why are small compromises often more dangerous than obvious, big sins? What are some specific ways that we open the door to sin in our lives?
  • If Balaam had fully trusted God’s first answer, how might the rest of his story have changed?
  • We all make tiny compromises along the way.  These compromises  over time lead us into full blown sin.  Can you think of any areas of your life where you know what God wants, but you hesitate because you also know what YOU WANT?  Pray for each other on this subject.

It has been such a joy beginning the process of getting to know your students here at Creekside and I am humbled to be entrusted with the task of pointing them towards Jesus.  I realize when a church hires a new youth pastor, there is a natural tendency to think that they are here to work with the teens.  Whereas that is certainly a part of my role, mom’s & dad’s, I want you to know that I’m also here for YOU!  Parenting is no easy task, and as parents you will absolutely be the number one influence on your children and upon their spiritual formation!  As you seek to point your kids towards Jesus, please know that you aren’t in this alone!  If there is anything at all that I can do to support you as you shepherd your children, my door is always open!
