The Less Than Ideal Woman (Proverbs 1 & 31)
Pastor Crockett
In what ways have you been trying to measure your worth by your performance or others’ expectations instead of by your identity in Christ?
How does knowing that God used someone like Bathsheba—a woman with a less-than-perfect past—to shape history and teach wisdom, change how you view your own failures or regrets?
What does “the fear of the Lord” practically look like in your home, and how are you actively cultivating that awe and reverence for God in your daily life?
Are there areas in your parenting or personal life where you’ve been trying to rely on your own strength rather than seeking wisdom and strength from God?
What specific steps can you take to more intentionally instruct your children—or influence those in your care—in God’s truth this week?
How can you regularly expose your family to opportunities to grow in the faith (e.g., worship, church, prayer, Christian community)?
How can you better balance the biblical ideals you strive for with grace for yourself in your real, imperfect daily walk?
When you feel discouraged by the “highlight reels” of social media or other other’s achievements, how can you reframe those thoughts through the truth of Proverbs 1:7?
How could God be calling you to support or serve a single parent or overwhelmed caregiver in our Morningside church family?
How can you point others—whether children, a spouse, or friends—toward Christ, especially in moments when you feel weak, weary, or inadequate?
