ICE-BREAKER: What is the best concert experience you have ever had? If you don’t know, what is the first concert you ever went to?

1 Read 2 Corinthians 6:11-13. Paul describes his heart as “wide open” but the Corinthians’ hearts as “restricted.” Describe someone who has a wide open heart toward truth? What does it look like in your life when your heart is closed to truth or correction from God’s Word? 

2 Read 2 Corinthians 6:14. First, what is a yoke?  Second, Paul commands believers not to be unequally yoked. What does this mean? How does this apply to ministry partnerships, friendships, and marriage specifically?

3 Read 2 Corinthians 7:1. Paul tells believers to cleanse themselves from what defiles them. What was Paul talking about specifically to the Corinthians? What are modern applications today? 

4 Do you have unequal yokes that God is calling you to break? What is God commanding you to do? Do you need advice from the group? 

5 Think about the closest people in your life. Who is helping you grow in your faith? Is there anyone pulling you away from Christ or making it harder to follow Him?

6 What is one thing God is asking you to start doing, stop doing, or keep doing? 

7 How did God use this message to teach, train, challenge, convict, or encourage you?
