Faith Church Kansas
Life is not an easy thing to master. And while there are many aspects of life that may remain a mystery, we can live a skillful life founded on wisdom and not luck. God’s word gives us some practical insights how to not just experience life, but to live life. Godly Wisdom brings skillfulness to living life.
Message Title: Mapping The Route
If you want to know God's will, you have to read His Word.
Proverbs 2:1-6 NIV
Three practical tips when reading God's Word:
1. Read God's Word consistently.
2. Read God's Word slowly.
3. Read God's Word with others.
Proverbs 3:1-2 NIV
If we read God's Word and apply it, we will live out God's wisdom within His will.

Mapping The Route. Mapping your route on a road trip is important. Rarely can you arrive somewhere you want to go on accident. Same thing is true in our lives. If we want to end at a destination, we need to purposefully map out the route. And if we want our lives to align with
God’s will for our life, we need to read His Word.
CONNECT IN CONVERSATION. [Conversation starters for your group.]
• What would your ultimate road trip look like?
• Have you ever gotten lost, but assumed you knew the way?
CONNECT TO THE WORD. [Read it and talk it out.]
• Read Proverbs 2. What do you notice about God’s will and His Word? What are some of the benefits of God’s Wisdom?
• Proverbs 2 talks about “turning your ear to wisdom.” How do you think someone can do that?
CONNECT WITH OTHERS. [Questions that create openness.]
• What is your style of learning (Aural, Verbal, Physical, Logical, Social, Solitary)?
• What is one area of life where you would like to know God’s will?
