A short summary and follow up questions to Pastor John’s sermon “Faith Means Step” from the Invading Faith series.
In this portion of the series Pastor John shared with us the story of Joshua and the Israelites crossing the Jordan. This story is a great depiction what it means to step out in faith. I can’t even begin to imagine the incredible amount of faith the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant and the nation of Israel had while crossing the Jordan.
Pastor John’s sermon helps explain to us that faith “…calls us to go to places we would never go and could never go without Him. He calls us to do things we would never and could never do apart from Him…”
My favorite description of making that step in faith is “…stepping out of our comfort, beyond the so called security provided by this world and placing our confidence in God in order to experience the fullness of His kingdom (life with Jesus Christ).”
Follow up questions:
What are some comforts you find a false sense of security in? Why? Can you let them go?
Has there been a time when you felt God calling you to do something but do to feeling uncomfortable or not in control you ignored His request?
Share with us an example of when you trusted God, stepped out in faith and accomplished something that you could have never done apart from Him.
