THE ONE THING: ________________________________
APPLICATION QUESTIONS FOR FAMILY OR GROUP DISCUSSION 1. What is your reaction to the social injustice of human trafficking? Disbelief? Avoidance? Shock? Inadequacy? 2. Read Psalm 10:1-18. How does this Psalm seem to be written specifically about trafficking? How would you title these sections: vv. 2-11, vv. 12-15, vv. 16-18? What verse(s) could you use as a prayer on behalf of the trafficked? 3. Justice is a reoccurring theme with our God. Read Proverbs 31:8-9, Isaiah 58:6, Micah 6:8, Zechariah 7:9-10, and Matthew 23:23. As God’s people, what are we called to do? 4. What gifts and abilities do you have that would help with the problem of human trafficking? What prevents you from doing so? How would you remove that obstacle? What is your next step? If you’d like to learn more about the discovery group process, connect with
