Listening to the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9–12)
- This passage says the Spirit helps us understand what God freely gives.
  What do you think that means in your daily life?
- What makes it hard for you to trust the Spirit’s voice — fear, control, or maybe a wrong picture of God?
- How can you grow in recognizing the difference between the Spirit’s voice and your own reactions?
2. Not Quenching the Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19)
- What are some real-life ways we might “quench” the Spirit without realizing it?
  (Examples: staying silent when we should speak love or truth, holding onto bitterness, reacting out of fear.)
- What would it look like for you to stay open to what the Spirit wants to do — even when it’s uncomfortable?
3. Receiving Peace (Isaiah 53:5)
- Jesus already carried your pain and offered you peace.
  Where in your life do you still live like you have to carry it yourself?
- How might unhealed pain cause you to hurt or distance yourself from others?
- What would it look like to live from peace instead of from pain?
4. Words and Worship (James 3:9–10)
- Why do you think our words matter so much to God?
- How can our words either reflect the Spirit’s peace or quench what He’s doing in us?
- When have you caught yourself using your words to tear someone down who sees things differently — and how can the Spirit change that?
