LAUNCH
When we see a “Danger” sign, we know we’re supposed to be careful and stay away. But sometimes the sign can have the opposite effect: it can make us curious and draw us in. Why do you think that is?
EXPLORE
1. Read Proverbs 7:6-27, which describes how an unwise person responds to a “Danger” sign warning against sexual immorality. How do verses 6-7 describe this person?
2. How does the unwise person handle it when he realizes where the sexually immoral person’s house is?
3. What stands out to you about the sexually immoral person from verses 10-21?
4. How do verses 22-23 describe what happens when he goes along with her?
5. What advice is given in verses 24-27? What do you think of this advice?
6. According to what we just read, we know that engaging in sexual immorality is unwise, but is it a sin? What does 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 tell us about this?
