Men’s Session Questions (after the session):
Goal: For the young men to realize how, through Christ, our masculinity has been redeemed. Where Adam’s inheritance is that of concupiscence and sin, through our baptism we’re able to share in Christ’s inheritance from the Father.
Men’s Session Scripture: Romans 8:16-17 – “The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.” / Ephesians 5:14 – “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”
Note: if you didn’t get to use the questions above earlier, feel free to include them now.
- In what ways do you see the inheritance of Adam ‘take flesh’ in your life?
- In what ways do you see the inheritance of Jesus ‘take flesh’ in your life?
- In what ways do you hope to grow more like Jesus in his expression of authentic masculinity?
- In your own life, do you find that there’s a battle between the masculine inheritance of Adam vs. Jesus?
- In what way?
For the small group leader: We encourage you to briefly share how the contrast between Eve’s inheritance and Mary’s inheritance has impacted your own life.
- Who are some people in your life who live out an authentic femininity? In what ways do you see them live our authentic femininity?
- What was your experience of the prayer time after the talk?
- Did God say anything particular to you? Did anything stick out to you in the time of prayer?
- How can you pray with your friends more after this weekend? How can this kind of prayer be incorporated more in your youth ministry?
