COMMUNITY MEDITATION

KNOW

  • Reflecting on verse 10, what is the relationship between heart/root sins and other kinds of evil?

FEEL

  • It might be said that contentment is a settled joy that is not based on present circumstances. When you sense you lack contentment, have you ever asked why?
  • Contentment doesn’t mean you go flat line in your heart and simply do not care any more about life? How are our desires actually important to contentment

LIVE

  • Treasure on earth shared is treasure in heaven prepared. How are your investing what you have in an eternal way? Do you enjoy generosity? Or do so begrudgingly?
  • Is God enough for our heart’s to be content? Don’t say YES too quickly. What holds us back from this sort of freedom?
