Description:

Our purpose in this study is to identify the difference between a heart dedicated to God and one dedicated to self. Based on the Word of God, we all start out as sinful. As David said in Psalm 51:5, “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.”

Message from Marsh: “May your personal walk with the Lord lead you to be transformed, renewed, and blessed.”

Men and Matters of the Heart – Part II

IntroDUCTION

(www.mensgroup.org – “Original Study”)

PRAY: A suggested opening prayer for small group members or individuals to invite God to connect as we seek Him in His Word. Feel free to add your own words, “in prayer.”

Dear Lord, help us to identify the difference between a heart dedicated to God and one dedicated to self. Help us change our hearts for the better by understanding and accepting the seriousness of our sins and accepting Christ as our Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

INTRODUCTION

We studied the makeup of the heart in Part I and were challenged to live out what it means to seek a peaceful, joyful, wise, steadfast, and upright heart - characteristic of a growing and committed believer.

Now we expand our view of the heart by studying five more characteristics of the believer’s heart and widen our view of commitment to God. Our helper is the Holy Spirit, as He was in Part I, who gives us the ability to experience these good responses in our new heart given to us by God.

Our heart can only rest in God. Every intent or action of the heart focused on self, or the world, makes it unsuitable for following the Lord. Use these lessons to deepen your understanding of the great blessings of a heart dedicated to God that grows in abundant, positive, and God-pleasing ways.

PURPOSE:

Our purpose in this study is to clarify the difference between a heart dedicated to God and one dedicated to self so that we can learn more about how to grow our own godly heart.
