Life Reset - Week One

Q1 – Let's begin in Romans 7:15–25
Paul writes, “I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate… What a wretched man I am!” Have you ever found yourself stuck in a “merry-go-round” of sin like Paul describes? What patterns or struggles keep repeating for you?

Q2 – Now read Romans 8:1–2
Paul says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. How does this promise of “no condemnation” affect how you view your past struggles, current temptations, or repeated failures?

Q3 – Read Romans 8:5–6
According to Paul, “the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” What does it practically look like to set your mind on the Spirit in a typical week? What tends to pull your mindset toward the flesh instead?

Q4 – Let's get personal: Who's the “sheriff” in your town?
Pastor Josh said, “You get to vote in who governs your mind: the flesh or the Spirit.” What currently governs your thought life? In what areas might you still be sequestering the Spirit to only certain “streets” of your heart?

Q5 – Read Proverbs 23:7 (“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he”).
Josh reminded us that “right thinking brings freedom.” What toxic or unbiblical thoughts do you wrestle with that may be sabotaging your freedom in Christ? What’s one biblical truth you need to “reset” your thinking this week?

Q6 – Read Romans 8:13.
Paul says, “If by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.”* What does it mean to kill sin instead of just “trying to be better”? What step might the Spirit be prompting you to take seriously this week?
