What to Do When You Don't Know What to DoSample

Have you ever seen a roadblock on the highway? Its purpose is to keep cars from being able to get to a certain area on the road. It blocks all access to that one spot. In the same way, our sin can be like a roadblock that keeps us from God, making us feel unworthy and seeing God as distant or angry. Which is what makes Jesus’ death so powerful. Jesus dying on the cross was the most powerful and accurate representation of what God was like. Jesus' living and dying allowed us to see God for who He really is, and see ourselves as we really are—loved no matter what. That’s how Jesus reconciled us to God—or brought harmony to our relationship with God. No more roadblocks or barriers. And because that’s true, we can be confident that when we go to God with our mistakes and sins, Jesus makes a way for forgiveness to come in and reconciliation to be possible. This week, talk to your Small Group Leader or a trusted friend about some of the roadblocks you might be facing in your relationship with God. Ask them to pray for God’s forgiveness and restoration in your relationship.
