Discussion Questions:

1) Was there anything from the sermon or the passage that stuck out to you?

2) Earthly wisdom often leads us to pursue recognition and personal glory. In what areas of your life are you most tempted to seek glory for yourself rather than pointing to God?

3) True wisdom shows itself through humility and good conduct rather than impressive knowledge. Can you think of someone in your life who embodies this kind of wisdom, and what makes them different from people who simply know a lot?

4) Adam chose autonomy in the garden, wanting to be in charge of his own life, while Jesus demonstrated glory through submission at the cross. Where are you currently holding onto autonomy instead of surrendering to God's ways?

5) Sanctification requires submitting to God's logic and rules rather than our own. What specific area of your life feels hardest to submit to God, and what do you think is making that surrender difficult?
