A Changed Life

Harris Creek Baptist Church

April 21, 2024 • Jonathan Pokluda

 Change begins in you thinking …thoughts take you places. When you become a Christian, you are learning a new way to live, different than the world. The true test of a changed person is what comes out of them when they are squeezed. The true test is in trials. 

 

Thoughts take you places

You are learning a new way

The true test comes in trials

 

Life Group Discussion:

What are you allowing in your thoughts? Share what you fed your brain this week. What do you need to let go of?

What are you going to start doing to help fill your heart with the things of God?

What comes out of you when you are squeezed by life? Begin to uncover what is stored in your heart. How would your life look different if you took this step?

Anger and Forgiveness

April 28, 2024 • Nate Hilgenkamp

To live a Christian life, we have to imitate Christ. One place where some struggle is with forgiveness of others who have committed a wrong against them. Rather than holding grudges, quiet judgment, and anger in our hearts, we are called to forgive in the same way that Jesus forgave us. God deeply cares about how we are able to forgive others and let go of our anger.  Life Group Questions:  Are there any unresolved conflicts or feelings of resentment towards others in your life? How can you take the first step towards resolution? How does our anger towards others often reveal other sin within us?
