"Faith" Hebrews 10:19-22 Rev. Ryan Laughlin

Sermon Discussion Questions

1) After reading over this passage again, what does the text say about faith? What does it say about confidence?

2) We heard in the sermon that faith in Jesus looks like trusting Him. What does that mean for your daily lives?

3) Bulletin quote: "Faith is to believe what you cannot see. The reward of faith is to see what you believe." (Augustine) Do you find this encouraging, challenging?

4) How is faith in Christ different than the Hallmark Christmas tagline..."Just believe, or Keep the faith" mentality in our current culture?

5) Read over Galatians 3:26, 4:7. What do these passages say about faith?

Seven Tips For Staying On Track

1. Read through the Bible together with other people.

2. There will be some passages that you may not find interesting and / or difficult to read. Remember 2 Timothy 3:16-17 as you read these passages: "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be equipped for every good work." Ask yourself why God spoke this particular passage, and how it is profitable to you.

3. Do the whole reading for each day, but look for a "best thought" for each day - something you can ponder the rest of the day, a verse to memorize, something memorable.

4. As you come the Word each morning, ask God to open your eyes to the wonders found in his word.

5. Let your prayers for others flow out of what you read. Pray and read Scripture. After you read a passage, pray that passage for yourself and for others.

6. Some readings will be long and some short. Take advantage of shorter passages by reading them carefully, reflecting, asking questions, praying for answers, engage.

7. Look for ways you can practically live out what you're reading. James 1:22, "But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves."
