Instructions for Discussion
Below are suggested questions you can ask students to reflect on to help with your discussion. You may be inspired to ask different questions based on the needs of your group.
- What does it look like for you to "move forward with courage and confidence in the Lord"? How does it look different from acting in fear or uncertainty?
- Please share an experience when you took a step into the dark and didn't know the outcome. How did it turn out? How did that experience strengthen you the next time you needed to exercise greater faith?
- How have you been blessed by building your faith on Jesus Christ and not on specific outcomes that you may desire? How does your faith in Jesus Christ help you move forward, even when there are challenges in your life? How do you help others to exercise that kind of faith when they have trials?
