TEMPTED

A 2-Week Series on what to do when the temptation train comes through.

Week 2 Small Group Guide


YOU CAN RALLY AFTER BEING RUN OVER.

Ice Breaker:
  • When was a time you failed at something but were able to bounce back? What helped you rally?
Tension:
  • Why do you think we often ignore or underestimate temptation until it’s too late?
  • What are some temptations that could potentially run people over today?
  • When was the last time you felt “Run Over” by temptation?
Truth: Read Together Micah 7:8 NIV
  • What stands out to you about the tone of this verse? What kind of hope does it offer?
  • How have you experienced being “run over” spiritually or emotionally—and what helped you start to rally again?
  • Why do you think it’s hard to believe you can “rise” after falling? What gets in the way of that mindset?
  • How does knowing God is your light in the darkness shift your approach to failure or sin?
  • Look at the lives of people like David, Peter, or Paul. What do their comebacks tell you about God’s character?
  • Truth: YOU CAN RALLY AFTER BEING RUN OVER
TAKEAWAYS:

1. REPENT FROM SIN

  • How do you personally define the difference between regret and repentance?
  • When you’ve messed up, what helps move your heart from being hard to being humble?
  • Read 2 Corinthians 7:10 and 1 John 1:9—what’s encouraging or challenging about these verses?


2. REVEAL IT

  • Why do you think God wants us to confess our sins to others, not just to Him?
  • What fears hold us back from being honest about our struggles?
  • Who is someone safe in your life you could talk to if you needed to confess something?
  • Read James 5:16 together.


3. RELEASE IT

  • What’s one thing from your past that tries to define you more than God does?
  • Read Romans 8:1-2 and Philippians 3:13-14—how do these verses help you let go of shame?
  • What practical step can help you stop over-identifying with your past mistakes?


4. REPORT WHAT HE’S DONE

  • What’s one way God has shown you mercy that others need to hear about?
  • Why is it powerful to share your story—even the messy parts?
  • Read Mark 5:19—what would it look like for you to “go and tell” what God has done?
Challenge:
  • Before next week, share one area where you’ve rallied with someone who needs hope!
  • Prayer Focus: Ask God to help group members to recognize temptation, rally from their mistakes, and walk in freedom through His mercy and strength.
