Living by Faith in Practical Terms

Select Leader who will decide when to move to next section.: whoever has lived in this town the shortest time.

Introductions, and talk about your childhood impressions of church.

Personalize. Talk about your secular use of the word “faith,” and how your examples might shed light on the religious use of the word. For example, you might talk about the faith you exercise when you drive a car, ride in an airplane, or turn on the faucet. As you are doing this, also keep track of any other words you use that mean roughly the same as the word “faith.”

God’s Word. Today’s topic is not “becoming a Christian” by faith, but rather what it means for someone who “already is a Christian” to live by faith day by day.

2 Corinthian 5:7. We do not live by ____ (which means what?)

2 Peter 1:4. Rather, we depend on God’s _____

How can even troubles be seen as faith-strengtheners, in 2 Corinthians 1:8-10?

Summary. Based on these verses, I think God’s will for me is … (This may be different for each person)

Insight. What is there about me that keeps me from doing this? (This will provide insight into your sin nature, including deliberate sin or area of weakness.)

Christ. How He is the answer to the particular areas surfaced above. (This will include forgiveness for the past, and living in you to change you for next time)

Future. Promises to rely on next time the problem comes up.
