DISCUSSION GUIDE: January 19 – Ron Aulbach
“Faith Factor”
LIFE: Did you believe that the Lions would win the Superbowl?
ENGAGE THE MESSAGE:
- Read Judges 7:1-8, 22.
- What are some things people put their “faith in” that is not about God?
- Faith is allowing God to stretch you. What would it be like to be one of the 300 left in Gideon’s army after reading vv 1-8?
- What does this story teach about God?
- What does it mean that God cares more about your obedience than your comfort? Have you experienced that?
- Name a time when God showed up in a way you could have never predicted when you were obedient to His prompting. How did that grow you?
- Why is fear opposed to faith?
- How can you start small with faith in your own life?
MAKE DISCIPLES: How can you encourage someone else who may or may not be living by faith?
