    About this ebook

    Don't show up for a fight unarmed!

    Learn how to fight with faith, with prayer, and with the Word of God—and become a man who knows how to fight for what's right.

    In this video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel helps you and your group uncover your God-given warrior's heart. You'll learn how to find the strength to fight the battles you know you need to fight—the ones that determine:

    • The state of your heart.
    • The quality of your marriage.
    • The spiritual health of yourself and your family.

    Groeschel identifies men of today with Samson—putting the spotlight on his incredible strengths and his crippling weaknesses. By looking at Samson's life in the book of Judges, you'll learn how to defeat the demons that make strong men weak—lust, entitlement, pride—and instead become the man God made you to be.

    Our spiritual enemy, Satan, loves to make strong men weak. But the good news is that our God loves to make weak men strong. With the Fight Study Guide, you'll learn how to become dependent on God as the source of your strength and fight the battles that make you come alive.

    Sessions include:

    1. Fight Like a Man
    2. Strong Men with Weak Wills
    3. Spirit Led, Not Emo-Driven
    4. Small Steps, Big Destruction
    5. Failing Forward

    Designed for use with the Fight Video Study (sold separately).

      Fight Bible Study Guide - Craig Groeschel

      SESSION 1

      FIGHT LIKE A MAN

      I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. An entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables, slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy stuff we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war … our Great Depression is our lives.

      — Tyler Durden in Fight Club

      GROUP MEETING

      Welcome

      Welcome to the first session of Fight. If your group members do not yet know one another, introduce yourselves before watching the video.

      Video

      Play the video segment for Session 1. Use the outline below to help you follow along with the main points, filling in the blanks as you go. (See the appendix for any words you miss.) Jot down any insights or questions for discussion.

      NOTES

      Men, God created you with a heart of a [Your Response]. There are times we must put up a fight, a spiritual fight, where we stand our ground.

      Jesus was full of love, grace, mercy … and he was the greatest warrior who ever lived. In Exodus 15:3, God himself is called a [Your Response].

      In Matthew 10:34, Jesus acknowledged he did not come to bring peace, but a [Your Response].

      I looked for a man among them who would [Your Response] up the wall and [Your Response] before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none. (Ezekiel 22:30)

      Two Principles for Being a Warrior:

      1. Every warrior has a [Your Response] to fight for.

      Don’t be [Your Response] of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes. (Nehemiah 4:14)

      2. A warrior without a cause to fight [Your Response] will find the wrong thing to fight [Your Response].

      He might fight against authority … wife … boss … boredom. Saul of Tarsus, before he became a Christian, fought against Christianity (see Acts 8:3).

      A warrior without a cause becomes a [Your Response] man.

      When you see a man with godly [Your Response], you will see a man reflecting the [Your Response] of God the Warrior, who stands up for truth.

      Two Ways You May Have to Fight:

      1. Sometimes, you throw a [Your Response] (metaphorically and spiritually — be active).

      There are times when you have to draw your [Your Response], and your sword is the [Your Response] of God.

      Stand against injustice, stand up for the weak, fight in prayer, leave a job that’s hurting you spiritually, or walk away from a woman who is not your wife.

      2. Sometimes you turn a [Your Response] (which often takes more strength).

      Fight with humility, repentance, [Your Response] your sin, apologizing, asking for [Your Response].

      Conclusion: Deuteronomy 20:3 – 4 says that the Lord your God is the one who goes [Your Response] you to fight for you against your enemies. The Lord gives you [Your Response]. Your job is to [Your Response] … and fight like a man of God.

      Discussion

      Take time to discuss what you just watched.

      1. In your family of origin, how was manhood described and modeled?

      [Your Response]

      2. When you were growing up, what influenced you toward or away from the idea that men are naturally supposed to have a heart of a warrior?

      [Your Response]

      How does
