Faithful Endurance
February 26, 2023“Faithful Endurance”
Take-Home Truth: It requires faithful endurance to make it home and experience joy.
Christ-Connection: The race we run is difficult, and Jesus is the One who finished the race and perfects our faith.
Hook: (Ice-breaker question. Get the group talking!)
- Describe a difficult time when you endured.
Engage: (Observe the passage and engage with the text)
- Read the passage and share with the group words or phrases that trigger memories or have special meaning to you?
Reflect: (Reflect upon the key take-aways from the sermon)
- Dan shared that the origin of the word “race” is “agony”; how does knowing this shape your thinking?
- The cloud of witnesses are deeply flawed people showing deeply flawed people that they can run the race. Talk about how this encourages you.
Respond: (Apply the truths of God’s Word to your heart, affections, and actions)
- Describe how “sins” and “weights” have hindered or are hindering your race?
- How does running your race affect others (family, friends, coworkers, etc.)?
-
- Discuss how fixing your eyes on Jesus’ example impacts your endurance.
