This past Sunday's lesson was titled Blind Faith. Take time to continue studying, considering and applying the lesson through the following questions and Scripture passages.
Think through the events of your day when you put faith into practice outside of your spiritual life. For example, when you drove your car today, you had faith in the mechanic that he fixed your brakes properly. What are some other examples of faith you can think of?
What barriers cause you to have difficulty in placing your faith in God in all areas of your life?
Everyone has faith. What is important is identifying what or who your faith is in. What or who is the object of your faith? Is your faith truly in God for all of your life’s circumstances or have you set-up other “gods” in which you’ve entrusted areas of your life? Prayerfully identify those “gods”.
What do you know about God that gives you confidence that your faith is well placed in Him?
Read Genesis 11:27-12:9. Reconsider the observations we made on Sunday regarding Abraham’s faith. What other observations can you discover within this passage? How might you apply these observations to your life?
Learning to live a life of faith is foundational to a Christian’s daily walk with Jesus. Take time to read through and study what the following passages tell us about faith, trusting God and your walk with Jesus…
Ephesians 2:8-9
Romans 1:16-17
2 Corinthians 5:7
Colossians 2:6-7
Matthew 6:30
Hebrews 11:1
Romans 14:23
Hebrews 4:2-3
Hebrews 11:6
Read and consider Hebrews 11. What observations do you make regarding faith and the men and women of faith listed?
By faith, have you placed your eternal spiritual condition in what Jesus has done for you on the cross? Have you, by faith, received the forgiveness of your sins (wrong doings against God)? Have you turned over the leadership of your life to Jesus and Jesus alone? If not, what barriers are holding you back from making this most important decision in your life?
Do you sense God calling you to take another step forward in faith? In what way might God be calling you? What is holding you back from moving forward with God to where He wants you to go?
What are some daily practices you can put in place in your life to help deepen your faith in God?
On Sunday we identified that a life of faith puts us in a position to be a blessing to others. How will you be a blessing to others today based upon your faith?
On Sunday we identified that faith leads us to worship of God. How will you worship God today based upon your faith in Him?
In preparation for next Sunday’s lesson, read Genesis 12:10-13:4. Take time to make observations from this passage.
Write out a prayer to God, asking Him to help strengthen and deepen your faith in Him.
