Giving Up Control

Application Questions

1. Have you experienced a loss of control in your life?  What effects did that have on you?  Why do we want to be in control?
    
2. How is trying to control our own lives a lack of faith in the Gospel? 
    
3. Read Hebrews 1:1-4- how can this passage be used to apply today’s point; God is great- so I don’t have to be in control? Can you think of other passages like this?   
    
4. What is God speaking to you specifically from today’s message?  Who can you share it with? 
    
5. A challenge: memorize Colossians 1:15-17.  Recite it to yourself whenever the need to control rises up.
