THESE THREE REMAIN- EASTER SERIES
WEEK 1- FAITH BEYOND BELIEF
OVERVIEW: This week, Milanna talked about the importance of not just believing but having allegiance to God. She made the point that just having belief doesn’t mean you are faithful… but having an allegiance to the King, that brings a life full of faithfulness. She also encouraged us that when we aren’t full of faith we can lean and learn from the author and perfecto of faith Jesus Christ.
QUESTIONS
Does your faith stop at belief, or do you allow God to be the ultimate in your life?
Do you struggle with faithfulness?
What does it mean to live a life in allegiance to God?
What do you think gets in the way of you being faithful to God?
What comes above God in your life?
ACTION:
Don’t just allow yourself to hear the importance of this and not take action- faithfulness is the first step in walking hand in hand with God. Take a song to reflect on your faith and belief and allegiance. Ask God to meet you wherever you are, and to give you the faith you need!
WEEK 2- A REASON FOR HOPE
