Small group questions.
Use these with your small group or on your own this week.
Connection
- What do you remember most from last week’s sermon?
- How did you hear God’s voice or sense His presence this past week?
- What are you looking forward to in the second half of 2026?
Reflection
- Summarize this week’s sermon in one to three sentences. What was the main point of the message?
- What did the message say about you, God’s people or the world?
Application
- One takeaway from the message was that “Truth is not determined by popular opinion but by God’s Word.” Read Romans 12:2 Where do you see values of our culture conflicting with Scripture? Why is it often easier to follow what is popular rather than what Scripture teaches?
- The sermon pointed out that Ahab wasn’t looking for revelation from God; he wanted validation for a decision he’d already made. Share a time when you asked God to bless a decision you had already made instead of sincerely asking Him to lead you? What did you learn from that experience?
- Ahab heard God’s Word through Micaiah but chose not to obey it. Read James 1:22-25 What is the difference between knowing God’s Word and allowing it to change the way we live? Where are you most tempted to hear without obeying?
- Micaiah spoke truth even though it was unpopular and personally costly to him. Share a time when someone lovingly told you a difficult truth that ultimately helped you grow. What made it hard (or easy) to receive?
- God’s warning through Micaiah wasn’t meant to condemn Ahab but to rescue him. Read Hebrews 12:5-11 Looking back on your life, can you identify a time when God’s correction protected you from greater harm? How has that experience changed the way you view God’s discipline?
- Ahab’s life teaches us that rejecting truth eventually causes us to lose direction. What is one habit could you begin this week that would help you stay sensitive to God’s voice?
