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?

James - A Tangible Faith (Pt. 9)
When bad things happen to good people, everything in us wants to make it right and hopes for justice to be done. If someone has wronged you specifically, this feeling is multiplied a hundred times over. This message drawn from the book of James reminds us that justice is God's business, not ours. He will ultimately make all things right. So what's our job? To have faith that our God is just, even when we live in a world that seems to prove otherwise.
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.
