22 Feb 2026 | Growgroup Discussion Starters One Story - The Giant Sermon (Deut 2)
Know
K1 What part of the message stood out most to you — the idea of giants, the “turn north” moment, the geography, or the way God retold Israel’s story? Why?
Grow
G1 In Deuteronomy 2:1–3, God says, “You have made your way around this hill country long enough; now turn north.” Where in your life might God be saying, “You’ve circled this long enough — it’s time to move forward”?
G2 In Deuteronomy 2:10–12, 20–22, Moses explains that the Moabites, Ammonites, & Edomites (Israel’s relatives) had already driven out formidable peoples like the Anakites, Rephaim, and Horites. Why do you think God intentionally led Israel past these examples of victory before they faced their own battles? What might that teach us about how God builds courage in us?
G3 The first generation saw the giants and retreated (Numbers 13:27–33), but the second generation was surrounded by evidence that giants could fall. How does the story you rehearse — failure or victory — shape your faith and obedience?
G4 The sermon suggested that Israel’s battles were part of a deeper spiritual conflict (see Genesis 6:4; Numbers 13:33; Ephesians 6:10–13). How does understanding that our struggle is “not against flesh and blood” affect the way we approach temptation, fear, or long-standing patterns in our lives?
G5 Some scholars (like Michael Heiser) argue that the references to the Nephilim and Rephaim point to corrupted bloodlines and a larger spiritual rebellion narrative (see Genesis 6:4). Whether or not we fully understand the details, what does this perspective suggest about the seriousness of spiritual compromise and God’s commitment to preserving His redemptive plan through Israel — ultimately leading to Christ?
Show
S1 Who are the “giant killers” God has placed in your life — people whose testimony shows that freedom, healing, or breakthrough is possible? What practical step can you take this week to lean into those voices and step toward your own “turn north” moment?
