July 24, 2022 | By Jesse DeYoung

Technology is an opportunity, and we don’t have to treat it like the enemy. When there’s a technological advance, there’s an opportunity for the gospel. Are we ready to use that real opportunity in front of us because of what we have in our pockets?

Group Questions

  1. Read 2 Corinthians 11:24-27.  Have you ever had an event like one of Paul’s listed in these verses?   Why not?   What are our (Flatirons attender’s) biggest obstacles for sacrificing for the cause of Christ?     For Christians around the world?1.

  2. An old coffee cup/bumper sticker saying was “If Satan can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.”What similarities do being bad and being busy have?  How does this tie into technology?

  3. Jesse said spiritual formation occurs daily “whether we like it or not”.  How can we balance technology so that the formation that is taking place helps us be more like Jesus than it does to bring about conforming to the world? How does Romans 12:2 suggest we balance this out?What are some of the resources Jesse suggested to help us out with this?

  4. Why do people pay attention to the 5-star rating system and the ratings/reviews that Amazon has attached to each product?  (It does tie in…answer this and then go to Q5)

  5. Because we are a relational society, we want to know how the product has had a positive or negative impact on the user.  We want to know if it is real and does what it says it will do based on others experience with it.   How might this apply to the “Share Your Story” challenge?
