This week we continue our series Bad Boys of the Bible where we will look at the lives of various men in Scripture and learn from them, in order to help us to avoid the mistakes, missteps & misguided choices that can ruin our life.

Take some time today to further explore some of the key points of the message using the discussion questions below. Discuss with a friend or your group, or simply take some personal time to journal your answers and consider what God is trying to teach you this week

********************************

Discussion Questions:

• Icebreaker: Share something excellent you learned from a father figure.
• What results when issues are not resolved?
• Read Ephesians 4:26-27. What do you learn from these verses?
• Calvin shared four lessons from Absalom. Which of these do you need to address with God’s help?

                      Address the pain—prevent the stain.

                      Stay humble—avoid the stumble.

                      Don’t rebel against authority—choose loyalty.

                      Forgiveness is granted—consequences are planted.

• How are you encouraged by the Good News that we have been reconciled to God through Christ? How can this help keep resentment from taking control?
