Faith Trusts God One Simple Step at a Time
Next Steps
- I take a step into a relationship with God by confessing Jesus as my King.
- I take a step of faith to let go of my trials into God’s hand.
- I take a step of obedience to listen to God as I love and support others.
Deep Dive
- Read Colossians 1:9. How does our understanding of God’s will shape how we view circumstances and crisis in our life?
- How does our willingness to pray for others help us gain discernment and understanding in life?
- How can God use us to bless others? Why, at times, do we resist the Spirit’s guidance when He moves us to be involved in others’ pain?
Springboard

- Who in your life has most influenced your faith? Describe the character of their faith.
- Do you ever feel tension between your present faith and your past failures? How so?
