“The Heart of the Matter” by Andy Stanley Teammates March 4, 2018 Lee Bennett

Setting the stage Trust in the Lord with all your heart…Prov. 3:5-6 The heart is deceitful above all things… Jer. 17:9-10 Watch over your heart with all diligence…Prov. 4:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart…Ps. 139:23 Go to: Guardrails.org ---Message 5 (play video) Then return to here for the rest of the talk

Table talk Read Prov. 4:23. What connections do you see between what’s in your heart and the way you behave? How has what is in your heart influenced your relationships with others? How has it influenced your relationship with God?

Table talk #2 Do any of these emotions regularly ding your conscience—guilt (I owe you), anger (you owe me), greed (I owe me), or jealousy (God owes me)? What is one thing you can do this week to begin to establish a guardrail around your heart? What can you do to take a step toward confessing if you feel guilt, forgiving if you feel anger, giving if you feel greed, or celebrating if you feel jealousy?

Moving forward Are you angry? Do you have hurt feelings? Have you recently broken a promise? Do you have secrets? Are you obsessed with something someone did to you? Is there stuff from your past you can’t let go of? Are you celebrating someone else’s misfortune? If everything isn’t okay in your heart, it’s time to confess, forgive, give, and celebrate. (From Andy Stanley)

Wrap up Andy said that Jesus was the link or bridge between the old covenant of law and the new covenant of grace. Recall with me what Jesus told the woman at the well in John 4:21-24 “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem, shall you worship the Father…(then) the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Coming between now & Easter A short 3-part series examining critical events during the last week of Jesus’ earthly life and some of His post-resurrection appearances. Michael W. Smith “The Heart of Worship” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpYD7HQo9QQ Click above to play this song Then, One Last Slide
