Mark 10:17-22
17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’”
20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”
21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
(NIV)
FROM THE LESSON
1 Peter 5:8-9
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
Romans 8:38-39
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- What are some examples of people fighting for unworthy things? Have you ever discovered yourself in that position?
- Why might we be tempted to "dig in" and fight God rather than surrendering to him?
- The Bible describes the devil as a lion that wants to devour us. How do you tend to view sin? Do you think of it more as a personal struggle, or something with wider-reaching effects?
- What does surrender to Jesus look like?
- How do you tend to respond when someone shares a struggle with you? How can we make our community a place where people feel able to share struggles?
