Memory Verses: Psalm 96:9-10

Day 1: Read 2 Chr. 25:5-13 & 2 Cor.  6:14-17 and discuss: Why did God not want his people working with those from the northern kingdom of Israel? Prayerfully consider how you might be unequally yoked with those who are not believers. Consider what - if any - changes need to be made. As ambassadors of Christ, how can you be faithful to be “in” the world (for the sake of unbelievers) and also “not of the world”

Day 2: Read 2 Chr. 25:5-13 & 2 Cor.  6:14-17 and discuss: What other situations can you think of - from Scripture - where obedience did not lead to success, comfort or ease, or victory (especially as the world would have counted it)? Consider your own life and experience, or those of faithful Christians throughout history: recount those situations - what God did, what people did in response, etc. Consider Christ: what was his path? Was he “successful” in the world’s eyes? Why or why not? And, how should this frame our perspective about obedience and “success”?

Day 3: Read Ezra 4:1-5 & discuss: Who are the Samaritans - what is their ethnic background? What lessons does this account have for us, today? What must be true about someone else’s belief and practice to qualify them as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” or a cult-member versus someone who is simply not a believer yet?
