Notes
People have always searched for things - significance, love, fame, wealth, happiness, etc. At the same time God is actively searching us to reveal His truth. There is incredible power and freedom when we allow God to search every part of our lives and to show us ways to identify and take captive the rebellious thoughts that separate us from God and His plan for us. Encourage your group to find new and different ways of searching out God’s truth in Scripture and allowing this to replace the lies we tell ourselves.
