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?

Transcendence (Created to Create, Pt. 1)
When experiencing something creative and beautiful, whether a breathtaking scene in nature or an astonishing piece of art, it's inspiring. It's transcending. We don't seek to tame or rationalize it - we revel in it. But yet when it comes to our faith, we tend to be extremely pragmatic and rational and overlook its wonder and mystery. In this message we begin the "Created to Create" series by reminding ourselves that God's beauty is everywhere and invites us to delight in Him in a way theology cannot.
From Series: "Created to Create"
Art has always been a way to express the inexpressible. It's the language of inspiration. And it's also a way God infiltrates our hearts when we delight in its beauty. In this series we explore our innate desire for creativity and beauty - and how it permeates our relationship with our Creator.
