Chase Leader's Guide

The Chase Bible study explores the events that defined David’s life and the Psalms that flowed out of those experiences. Through David’s example we’ll discover what God really wants from us.

What are you chasing?  

Are you doing everything right but still feel empty? Are you so busy doing things for God and everyone else that you altogether miss him? Do you ever, in your busy life, stop and see him, really see him?  

Jennie Allen felt paralyzed in her relationship with God. It occurred to her that maybe she was chasing the wrong things. Maybe God was after something else. When she stumbled across the phrase in 1 Samuel 13, "David was a man after God's own heart," she was intrigued. She knew David was both completely broken, and completely sold out for God.  

David's life shatters our ideas of what God wants from us. In Chase, Jennie shows us a man who spent his life chasing after God, which points to several things we shouldn't be chasing: 



Don't chase self-worth by achieving more 
Don't chase freedom by protecting yourself 
Don't chase approval by being moral 
Don't chase love by running away from guilt 
Don't chase answers by rejecting God 
Don't chase satisfaction by rebelling  
Don't chase fulfillment. Chase God!
