The Reality – Everything is Broken!

We had a great kick0ff last Saturday (1/10/15) with Matt Chandler’s video on Recovering Redemption.  This starts us on the reality check of who God is, what the initial intention with God was, and where it all ended up with us today. Matt unfolds the reality of where we are at and how we attempt to run to 4 distinct wells in our life for fulfillment. The following is not the video we watched, but an actual sermon that Matt preached on the same message. Watch this video to get caught up, or if you saw the video, watch this one and get some different insights.  Below the video is the battle plans for this week…

 

 

Battle plans for the week

This week we have quite a bit of material to cover.  The objective is to read the first two chapters in the book, and work through the first session in the study guide.  You can approach it however you want, but don’t take it for granted, there is a lot of valuable information in this effort you are going to invest.  Here is the approach to complete the work this week.

MAKE SURE WHEN YOU DO THE STUDY GUIDE WORK YOU MAKE IT A QUITE TIME AND LISTEN TO GOD FOR THE ANSWERS. DON’T RUSH THROUGH THE STUDY QUESTIONS AS THOUGH THEY ARE THOUGHTS OR IDEAS. OWN THEM, TAKE THEM TO HEART. SPEND SOME TIME GETTING CLOSER TO JESUS AND UNDERSTANDING WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT MAKES YOU TICK.

  • Sat/Sun – read chapter 1 in book
  • Monday – 1.1 God’s Creation (Study Guide – pages 10-14)
  • Tuesday – finish chapter 1
  • Wednesday – 1.2 The fall (Study Guide – pages 15-18)
  • Thursday – read chapter 2 in book
  • Friday – 1.3 Empty Efforts (Study Guide – pages 19-25)

Do not drag the assignment out to match the outline above. If you can get done sooner, by all means, proceed.
