Session Notes:

5:1-2: Introduction

5:3-20: Teaching

5:21-23: Summary

Discussion Questions:

1 In some ways, this lesson deals with the idea of “hidden fees.” What kinds of things in life have you found have the steepest hidden or concealed costs?

2 How would you put the message of Proverbs 5:1-23 in your own words?

3 The video talked about how the father provides a picture of life with a special focus on the end. How is this helpful for the son?

4 The father could have told his son to just “stay away” from adultery, but instead he couches it in terms of competing delights. Why do you think he frames the conversation in this way?

5 There is often a hesitance to talk about sex in church, but the father is very clear about the delights his son could experience in his own marriage bed. In what ways is this perspective on sex needed in our world today?
