Who's Your Master?

TALKING TO GOD

Thank God for being the Lord of your life. Ask Him to show you any areas where you have not yet made Him Lord. Trust Him for help to exercise self-control.

DIVING IN

Play a game of charades, and try to guess the titles of popular movies or cartoon series.

GOING DEEPER

It’s fun to do things you enjoy, like watch your favourite TV show or play your favourite games. But it might not be so fun if those things had control over you. In 1 Corinthians 6:12, the apostle Paul says: ““All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.” When something that you enjoy doing becomes something that you feel compelled to do, and you cannot stop yourself, it may have control over you. This means that you’ve given up your ability to choose what is best. It’s important to only have one Master – who is God – and to make sure He comes first in everything you do.

TALKING TO EACH OTHER

• What do you enjoy doing in your free time?


• Name a few characteristics of a “master”. How can you tell if something in your life is becoming a master over you?


• Discuss some ways that you can develop more self-control.
