Mars Hill Fellowship

2)     As you reflect back on last weekend’s sermon, what one principle or insight stands out as being particularly helpful, insightful or difficult to grasp?

3)     Last week, we identified 2-3 areas of fear that you would like to grow in this year. How have you dealt with this fear in the past week? For those who didn’t have the opportunity to list those fears, take time this week to identify and pray through those fears.

4)     Fear cripples us when we let our fears outweigh our faith in God. How do you respond when you are fearful? How can you turn your fear into an opportunity for faith in God?

5)     Pastor Joseph mentioned that the object of our faith makes a big difference? How do you know whether your faith is truly in God or if it is in other things? Have you encountered circumstances in which you thought that you were trusting in God but you were really trusting in other things? Read Psalms 33:13-19.

6)     Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. In groups, find a scripture that address one of the fears that Joshua struggled with. [Fear of acceptance. Fear of identity. Fear of the unknown. Fear of failure]. Share the scriptures from each of your groups. How can you meditate upon these scripture in your own life?

7)     How did Joshua show courage? Why does living a Godly life require courage? How do you choose courage over cowardness? What are practical steps that you can take to be more courageous on a daily basis?
