Genesis 3 documents the saddest day in the history of Earth, when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and fell into sin, ushering brokenness into our world and our relationship with our maker. In this study, we'll look at the deceitful tactics of Satan and how our sin answers the classic apologetics question known as "The Problem of Evil."
SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:
What causes us to focus on what we don't have rather than on the blessings that we do? How can we better live with an awareness of all the blessings we've been given?
What's the difference between building healthy boundaries in your life and legalism?
Often the hardest temptations to resist are so short-term, they're impulsive (e.g., emotional reactions). What have you found helpful in gaining self-control over impulsive sinful temptations, or are you struggling with anything like this now?
Would you say you're sure of God's character or do you struggle with doubts? Why or why not?
If someone asked you how God can be good when there's so much evil in the world, what would you say?
Read Matthew 4:1-11 together. What sticks out to you?
