Real Talk - YOLO Study Notes
November 8, 2020

MY STORY
-What is something that has caused you to realize that life is short?

-What is something you plan to do in this season of life that gets you really excited?

QUICK REVIEW
Sunday’s message was a warning that life is short and uncertain, and we therefore should build our lives around God’s plans and purposes – focusing our lives on doing good.

Read James 4:13-17 and focus on the progression from one verse to the next.
-Was there anything from the passage or Sunday’s message that confused you, challenged you, or encouraged you toward a next step with God? What was it?

DIGGING DEEPER
Reread James 4:14 and focus on what it says about tomorrow.
-James makes it clear that we do not know what the future holds. The events of 2020 have made that really clear. How would you say you have handled all of the uncertainty personally?

Reread James 4:17 and focus on James’ strong real talk.
-What is clear is that we ought to build our lives around the good that God wills for us to do. What is that good?

TAKE IT HOME
-What is a specific good that you dream about doing and pray that it is the Lord’s will?
