LIFE CONNECT QUESTIONS
Want to talk it over and connect this message to your everyday life? Good, us to! Change happens when we apply what learn and share it within community. Answer these questions so you can share with your Connect Group or talk it over with a personal friend.
Faith Believes. We can’t believe everything we hear. But when God speaks, we need to choose to believe Him. Sometimes that is easier said than done. How can we truly believe what we hear from God? Somewhere between hearing and believing is a choice we make.
CONNECT IN CONVERSATION. [Optional conversation starters.]
• Which one do you wish existed more, big foot or unicorns?
• Would your friends consider you gullible?
CONNECT TO THE WORD. [Read it and talk it out.]
• Read Hebrew 3:7-19. What are some things you observe about faith in this passage?
• Somewhere between hearing God’s voice and believing is a choice. Why do you think that choice is difficult at times? How can we choose to believe?
CONNECT WITH OTHERS. [Questions that create openness.]
• Have you walked through a tough time and come out with stronger faith? How did your faith grow during that time? Tell your group about it.
• Pastor said that “God wants to be our only option.” What are some “options” you’ve chosen over God during your life?
