The Divine JUDGE
Have you ever treated God as if He could fit in your back pocket? Why is it important to know God as all-knowing, all-present, merciful, and holy? Does a small view of God give us an excuse to live however we want? Learn how God is the perfect judge because He sees and hears everything and displays both mercy and justice at the right time.

Discussion Questions
Have you ever felt surrounded by WICKEDNESS?
What would it be like to live in a community where you were the only righteous people in the area? Even though God could not find ten righteous people in Sodom, we have hundreds of people supporting us spiritually today. Have you ever been in a work, school, or family situation where you felt like you were the only follower of Christ?
What were the SINS of Sodom and Gomorrah?
The people of these cities had four main areas of sin: arrogance, gluttony, ignored the poor, and did detestable things to each other (Ezekiel 16:49-50). Does this passage in Ezekiel help explain why the men were aggressive and violent (Gen 19:9)?
Is there HOPE to overcome HOMOSEXUALITY?
Read what the Bible says about homosexuality (Jude 1:7; Rom 1:24-27; Lev 18:22; 20:13; Judges 19:22; 1 Tim 1:8-11; Mark 10:6-9; Mt 19:4-6). As you read these Scriptures, what does God think about this sin? In 1 Cor 6:9-11, God gives us hope that we can find victory from sinful lifestyles. In what ways does Jesus wash and sanctify us?
Does your own sin ANGER you?
Do you judge others or yourself more harshly about sin? Are you disgusted by the sin in your heart, or do you focus on the sin of others? Do you give yourself mercy while wanting justice for others? What if you would reverse that last statement? What if God poured out His wrath on you for every sin you committed daily?
Has God REDEEMED something that your SIN destroyed?
God loves “RE” words. He loves to recreate, refresh, renew, redeem, restore, reconcile, and regenerate. Think about a time in your life when God took something that was ruined and made it beautiful again. Do you look forward to when He will make all things new
