Soul Cravings: Discover

Written by truthmedia

Erwin McManus says, “Our souls long for the One that we love…In the end, our posture in life, for every one of us…needs to be that we need, every day of our lives, to be seekers.” Is it possible that the longings we feel are designed by God to draw us into a closer relationship with Him? Does He really care about us, and if so, what might that mean to us today? Is it possible that we’ve missed the obvious in our search for fulfillment, and that God is inviting us to find satisfaction for our deepest desires? Join us as we consider an invitation like none other!

1. “Why do you keep acting like God is trying to avoid you?” How would you answer Erwin’s question? Has it ever seemed God was trying to avoid you? When? Have you ever tried to avoid God? How?

2. “While we love to have things in common with others, we desperately need to believe we are in some way unique. We want to be the same as and different from those around us. We want to have things in common, but we don’t want to be common.” Do you agree or disagree? Why?

3. What drives people to conform? Why are we so afraid to stand out? More thoughts...

Erwin says, “If we find ourselves endlessly thwarted in the search for our uniqueness, we may choose to end our quest and settle for a sterile existence.” Have you observed this in your own life or the lives of others?

4. Do you ever feel lost? Do you ever wonder how your life ended up here? (Where did you go to look for yourself?) More thoughts...

“You can try to fill the longings of your soul by the stuff of this life. You can try to fill the deepest cravings of your soul by trying to depend on people or things or stuff or success in this world, but in the end, it will …fall short, it’s not going to satisfy.”

5. Do you ever feel like God has been trying to get your attention? More thoughts...

“The moment you start seeking God, you’re going to turn and run into a God who has always been pursuing you, and that is the ultimate crash—where you and God meet each other, and your life is changed forever.”

6. “God wants you to know Him. He wants you to seek and find Him. To ask the deep questions and find Him as the answer for your soul.” How would you like to respond to this invitation to seek God?

7. What would it look like if God moved into your neighborhood or joined your circle of friends? More thoughts...

“That is why Jesus Christ came…why God stepped into human history, so that you and I can know Him.”

8. “To trust in God, you have to know that He loves you without condition. This is the beauty of Jesus’ death on the cross. It is God’s declaration of love for you.” Take a moment to consider this quote and respond to it. More thoughts...

Erwin continues, “His love embraces you wherever you are on your journey, and He does not leave you there. He launches you on a quest to pursue the life you were created to live. Your soul knows there is a greater purpose for your life, a God sized dream waiting to unfold and become your future.”

9. Are you aware of longings, of cravings in your own life? As we conclude this study, how will you respond to these longings? More thoughts...

“We’re all on a quest for intimacy, for meaning, for destiny. Our souls crave love and faith and hope. We are all searching for what our souls long for, and we will be satisfied only in God.”

10. Are there additional thoughts or unanswered questions as a result of this study? Is there any specific way that we can pray for you?
