Matt talked about Jeremiah 17:9. NLT
“the human heart is the deceitful and hard to understand.”
- How has your own heart deceived you in the past?
- Experience is a good teacher, share a time when you knew God was telling you to make a certain choice and you chose differently? How did that turn out?
- Like question 2, experience is a good teacher, share a time when you did choose what God wanted and how that turned Out?
- Proverbs 16:2 NLT says, “people may be pure in there own eyes but the Lord examines the heart”. How are you wired to make choices? (God, money, family, time) What influences your choices most?
- If you are comfortable enough, talk about the choices you are struggling with right now.
- Do you believe God has my best interest at heart?

Pastor Steve Gill kicks off our series on the book of James, tackling James 1:1-4. Today’s Key Ideas: -God uses the challenges of life to shape the character of Christ in us. -God uses trials to grow our faith, not to crush it. -Trials happen so that we may have a character-changing faith rather than a compartmentalized faith. ○ Part of my maturing is learning to walk through the enduring. ○ Rough air produces real disciples. Today’s Application: 1. What is one recent difficulty I’ve faced—and how might God be using it to grow me? 2. What is my response to God in this trial? Is it joy or anger? Is it patience or giving up? How we respond correlates the work that he can do in us.
