Talk It Over – Tough Choices, Pt. 1

Matt talked about Jeremiah 17:9. NLT
“the human heart is the deceitful and hard to understand.”

1. How has your own heart deceived you in the past?
2. 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?
3. Like question 2, experience is a good teacher, share a time when you did choose what God wanted and how that turned Out?
4. 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?
5. If you are comfortable enough, talk about the choices you are struggling with right now.
6. Do you believe God has my best interest at heart?

James - A Tangible Faith (Pt. 5)

• Listen

We all carry around an instrument that can cause deep pain and rifts in our relationships. But it can also bring encouragement and hope to those around us. What is it? Our words. Continuing our series on James, this sermon reminds us of the power of our words and how intentional we need to be with them.

From Series: "James: A Tangible Faith"

The book of James doesn't pull any punches. It's tangible practicality and focus on acting out one's faith deserves an in-depth look. At times its tone can come off audacious, but isn't that the way our faith should be - bold, courageous, and intentional? You bet.
