North Platte Berean Church
What is God like? (Part 4)
What would you wish for if you knew it would come true? Perhaps a new or restored relationship, health, wealth, or freedom from some difficulty or besetting sin? What if we could have all of the above, but without the presence of God – would we be satisfied? Too often, we’re tricked into substituting God’s good gifts for God Himself. Our fixation on the gifts hinders us from finding the deep satisfaction that can only come from truly knowing Him. Will we join together to seek a deeper encounter with God’s glory, a greater sense of His presence and goodness in our lives? Or will we be distracted by, and settle for, lesser things?

Talk It Over
Visit npberean.org/grow-groups for more resources or to connect.
• Treasuring God: Why is it important to understand God is both loving and perfectly just? Does it matter if God has more justice than love or vice versa?
• Being Transformed: What does the work on the cross do for us regarding so-called "generational curses"?
• Loving Others: How does the cross show us both the kindness of God and God’s justice? How does this lead us to act toward others?
• Pursuing Unity: Read Matthew 18:15-20. What does this teach us about how we should act toward our brothers/sisters in Christ? Are there steps we need to take toward forgiveness?

Next Week's Sermon
We'll finish up our Glory Encounter series next week by exploring a critical need we find when God's makes a covenant with humans. By God's grace we'll discover this reality and it will lead us to once again be stirred to Treasure Him!
