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?

Expectant, Pt. 1

• Listen

Waiting. We all hate it. It's frustrating because it's a passive process that we can't influence and have to be patient with. But how does this contrast with our "waiting" on the coming of the Kingdom of God? Considering all the despair we see in the world everyday, it's hard to maintain hope that everything will be redeemed and made right. But yet, we are called not just to patiently and apathetically wait on the ushering in of God's Kingdom - we are called to eagerly and boldly anticipate it. In this message, we give you a few thoughts on how to do that.
