Church 101 | Real Freedom

1 Corinthians 10
Message Questions:
- What are the three sins that the people of Israel fell into in the wilderness that we still need to steer clear of today?
- What is an idol? Is idolatry only something for people long ago? If not, give an example of idolatry in our day and age.
- How has God’s solution for temptation (v. 13) worked for you? Why doesn’t God just take away temptation all together instead of only “providing a way out so we can endure it”?
- In what way(s) these days are you “not seeking your own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.”?
