Breakout Discussion: “The Discipline of Being Holy”

As we have been talking about Discipline, this past Sunday, the message was entitled, “Be Holy: It’s Time to Engage”, where the focus of the message was to help us truly understand what it means “be holy”. Leviticus 19:1-2, And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy. One key insight from Sunday’s message was “When being holy is hard, being in sin becomes easy. But when being holy is easy, being in sin becomes hard.” Tonight, we go deeper to discuss what God requires of us to be holy. But before we begin, let us pray for more understanding.

Breakout Passage:

Leviticus 20:7, Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the Lord your God. - KJV

Q1: According to Leviticus 20:7, what must we do to “be holy”? What might sanctification look like in the life a true disciple of Jesus seeking to “be holy”? And how does practicing sanctification help us respond to God’s command to be holy?

Q2: Discuss the kinds of problems we face with temporary sanctification versus the the discipline of ongoing sanctification. (Ref: 1 Peter 1:13-16, Isaiah 35:8-10)

Benediction: Jude 1:24-25
