Celebrate Recovery @ Rafter J Cowboy Church – Wednesday, September 18, 2019 – Spiritual Inventory I

CR_10-Spiritual-Inventory

Large group starts at 7 pm (age requirements 15 years and older)

Small groups starts at 8 pm (age requirements 18 years and older)

Meal Served at 6:15 pm – 6:45 pm 

Principle 4. Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and someone I trust.   

“Blessed are the pure in heart.” (Matthew 5:8)

 Step 4.  We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. 

“Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.” (Lamentations 3:40)

Tonight, we begin the first of two lessons on Spiritual Inventory.  

Step 4 begins the process of coming clean, where you openly examine and confess your faults to yourself, to God, and to another person you trust. 

We will work on the following four areas:

Relationships with Others

Priorities in Your Life

Your Attitude

Your Integrity

Small Group Focus Questions:

Does your walk match your talk? If so, how? If not, why not? Are my actions the same at recovery meetings, church, home and work?  What in your life is interfering with you doing God’s will: Your ambition? Pleasure? Job? Money? Friendships? Personal goals?
