v1-5:
- It is easy to become lax about holding each other accountable. What do you do…what more can you do, to hold yourself accountable to God’s holiness?
- Do you have others (small groups or close friends) that you use or can use as partners in accountability?
Yeast represents sin. The Passover included a ritual housecleaning to get rid of the least speck of yeast. Paul is reminding us that we have work to do in order to be holy to God.
- What are some bad habits, bad attitudes, sneaky specks of personal yeast that you need to clean out? What can you do to address them as opposed to just sweeping them under the rug?
- Where and with whom can we become more transparent, more honest, more truthful?
- Are there times when you find yourself with those who influence you in undesirable talk/pastimes/behaviors? Do you get caught up in “their stuff” or are you able to maintain your sense of your standing with Christ even while you sit with those who have no interest in Him?
- Are you able to be clear about your convictions even among those who may profess to be your brother in Christ but who openly flaunt sinfulness? (Note: This is a very fine line for Christians as we avoid being judgmental but maintain clarity about our convictions)
