Growing A Heart That Seeks For God                     grp222
May God Give Us Eyes and Hearts That See His Light
Ice-Breaker: Tell us about a bright and sunny place in your home that you remember.

Matthew 6: 22Your eyes are like a window for your body. When they are good, you have all the light you need. 23But when your eyes are bad, everything is dark. If the light inside you is dark, you surely are in the dark. (CEV)

Luke 11: 35So be sure that your light isn't darkness. 36If you have light, and nothing is dark, then light will be everywhere, as when a lamp shines brightly on you. (CEV)
1. How is it that light and darkness so beautifully illustrate what God wants to teach us?

2 Samuel 22: 29Our LORD and God, you are my lamp. You turn darkness to light. (CEV)

Psalm 27: 1You, LORD, are the light that keeps me safe. I am not afraid of anyone. You protect me, and I have no fears. (CEV)

Psalms 119: 105Your word is a lamp that gives light wherever I walk... 130Understanding your word brings light to the minds of ordinary people. (CEV)
2. Why do we sometimes get away from the light and find ourselves walking in the darkness?

Isaiah 9: 2Those who walked in the dark have seen a bright light. And it shines upon everyone who lives in the land of darkest shadows. (CEV)
3. What does Jesus do to keep His truth and His light shining in this evil world?

Matthew 5: 16Make your light shine, so that others will see the good that you do and will praise your Father in heaven. (CEV)
4. When we are highly educated in worldly things, how can keep sometimes our lights hidden?

John 8: 12Once again Jesus spoke to the people. This time he said, "I am the light for the world! Follow me, and you won't be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life." (CEV)
5. Describe an example of how a good lifestyle actually does shine out and glorify God.

2 Corinthians 4: 6The Scriptures say, "God commanded light to shine in the dark." Now God is shining in our hearts to let you know that his glory is seen in Jesus Christ. (CEV)

Genesis 1: 3God said, "I command light to shine!" And light started shining. (CEV)
6. Why do we need to respect what the Bible teaches and desire to know all about it?

1 John 1: 5Jesus told us that God is light and doesn't have any darkness in him. Now we are telling you. (CEV)
7. What can we do to keep telling His truth and keep His light shining out to others?
