The World vs. The Word (Ephesians 2:1-3;
1 John 2:15; John 1:1-5,14; Habakkuk 1:9-11; Matthew 13:22, 16:24-26; Ecclesiastes 2:24-

Are you a little down right now? Frustrated with your life, or even feeling ashamed of what you have or have not accomplished?
You may be listening to the voice of the world in your head. Wrapped in self-help language or encouraging you to “Seize the day!”, the world creates a false hope of success based on a false premise of reality.
The world’s way of thinking ultimately leads to anxiety and hopelessness. But there is a better way.
Let us explore the contrast between the way of the World and the way of the Word and find hope for a future that will allow you to be at peace no matter how turbulent
the times.
Golf Cart discussion:
Hole 1. What does “carpe diem” mean to you? How can this be a good motto and how can it be a negative one?
Hole 3. Read through the Scriptures mentioned in the Bible Study once again (they are listed at the top). For each one, how does it illustrate
the lies of the world and/or the truth of the Word?
Hole 5. Is there something you are anxious, angry, or hopeless about? Is the voice of the world having an impact on how you are feeling?
Share that with the group.
7. Commit to calling your partner or someone in need this week to check in, and to speak the truth of the Word into what they are struggling
with
