Faith Means Movement | Why Faith Isn’t Just About Agreeing With God
What’s the weirdest fad or trend from your childhood? Did you participate? Bonus points if you can share pictures!
What stood out to you most from the message?
Think of a moment you experienced something unexpected. How did you react? How did others around you react?
When was the last time you had to do something repeatedly in faith, similar to the Israelites marching around Jericho?
What is your reaction when you hear that God decided to save Rahab the prostitute?
Read Galatians 2:16. Why do you think we are drawn more towards our own strength instead of faith in Christ?
Read Joshua 2:9-11. What’s something in your life right now where you can move forward in faith, even without fully understanding it?
What’s one way you can take action in faith this week?
Let’s end our time praying together. You can say something like, “God, thank you for being our strength and fighting our battles. Help us grow our faith in you, so that we can take action even if it feels like a risk. Deliver us as we trust in you. Amen.”
“Faith” is one of those nice words you might see stitched into a pillow or on the class roll at a Christian school. We might think it has something to do with believing God or having nice thoughts. But what if we told you faith isn’t just reading the Bible and going “Nice! Thumbs up!“, but really comes down to believing something enough to move. This week, Alli Patterson shows why out of the whole city of Jericho, God chose Rahab the prostitute to be His servant.
