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?

Partners (How to Pray, Pt. 3)
We often come to prayer wanting to engage God - to persuade Him to care about the things we do. But oppositely, maybe God uses prayer as a means to engage us. In this message, we explore that the concept that prayer, in its truest form, is a means to build partnership and continual dialogue with our Creator.
From Series: "How to Pray"
Prayer, in terms of its necessity to our journey with God, has always been deemed an important priority. But yet, when it comes to our experiences with prayer, many of us find it challenging, unfulfilling, and sometimes even a burden. Our hope with our "How to Pray" series is to address the challenging, fundamental questions that surround prayer and to encourage you to take the next step towards a richer prayer experience and relationship with God.
