WARM UP QUESTION
Can you think of a time when you had to put your trust in something that you couldn’t see? [Today we are going to examine the nature of our faith. What happens when we switch from taking apart and examining God and instead, we let God take apart and examine our faith?]
HEAD: These questions help us examine the Word.
1. Read Luke 18:8 and Matthew 12:39-42. Did Jesus require blind faith? If not, why didn’t Jesus choose to reveal Himself in ways that would have fully convinced the religious leaders?
2. What does our continual demand for God to give us more evidence say about our human nature?
3. Read Hebrews 11:1. Based on this verse, how would you explain faith to a 5-year-old?
4. Why does God require faith?
HEART: These questions help us wrestle with what we believe.
5. In your journey, has your faith been more of a blind faith, a strong faith based on evidence, or have you been unable to have faith in what you cannot see?
HAND: These questions help us bring truth and beliefs into our everyday life.
6. As your reflect on the deconstruct series, what did you hear that helped to build your faith? What are some ways that you can continue to build your faith along these same lines?
