Carpenter Series Lesson 5

Highlights:

1. Four Keys to Relationship:

• Read the Bible
• Pray
• Fast
• Worship

2. Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship.

3. Unforgiveness, bitterness and relational discord are barriers to personal intimacy with Jesus.

4. Worship is more about what God likes than what I like.

 Discussion Questions:

1. How does a personal devotional life keep us out of religion and in relationship?
2. What does it mean to you that God has provided a way for you to have a personal relationship with Him?
3. What aspects of a devotional life (Bible Reading, Prayer, Fasting, Worship) do you enjoy the most and why? Which aspects of devotional life is God challenging you to grow in?
4. How can you grow in expressing worship to God that is more about what He likes than what you like?
