Discussion Questions

1. When was the last time you thought about the people you are “running” with? How do the people in your daily sphere impact how you are? Assess how you think and behave around different people. Read 1 Corinthians 15:33. How are you shaped by the people you keep company with? Based on the lives of people in your sphere, where is your life headed?

2. Read 2 Corinthians 6:14-18. What partnerships is Paul talking about? What does an unequal yoke look like in a marriage? In a business partnership? In a friendship? Why is God concerned about who you are yoked with? Share your thoughts on even and un-even yoking. What examples from your life confirm or refute what Paul wrote?

3. Read 2 Corinthians 6:16. What does being a “temple of the living God” have to do with our choice of partner, spouse, and friend? What should you do if the Holy Spirit highlights a relationship you are in that compromises your integrity and diminishes the light you are supposed to carry? Ask: “Holy Spirit, is there a relationship that I need to leave or change? Is there a relationship I need to press into or pursue?” Ask the Spirit to help untangle you from bonds that serve as roadblocks in your walk with Jesus.

4. Read 2 Timothy 2:1-2. Good company calls our character higher! Honor the good company in your life by telling them! How are you good company to others? What is the main purpose of the relationships you are currently nurturing? How are they calling you into a higher, more mature faith? How are you calling others out and up? Who do you want to bring along on your walk with Jesus?
