KEY POINTS:

· Silence about your sin is the enemies plan to keep you in bondage. 

· Sacrifice - Zebach - Ritual or act of sacrifice.

· Show devotion and deal with sin. 

· The Alter is where God does the impossible. 

· God's plan starts when we are on our knees - a shift in our posture. 

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

1. Psalm 32 says, “Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven.” What do you think it means to be “blessed” in this way? How does hearing that God covers sin make you feel about your own mistakes?

2. The sermon said, “Your deepest need in life isn’t knowing God’s plan for you, it’s knowing God’s plan for sin.” How does that challenge the way many of us approach faith or church?

3. The sermon described wavering between two options having “one foot in and one foot out.” In everyday life, what are some examples of living half-committed or divided? What do you think it might look like to fully trust God instead?

4. The altar was the place where the impossible happened, God lit drenched wood on fire. Where in your life does it feel “soaked” and impossible right now? What would it look like for you to “take it to the floor” and invite God in?

5. The message said, “God’s plan starts on our knees.” What do you think could happen if you brought one worry, struggle, or area of guilt to God this week through prayer? What small step could you take to “take it to the floor”?
