We hope this is a helpful resource for you as you dive deeper into the Scriptures and the messages preached at New Life Church.

• As we concluded our Grace and Truth series last week, what is the biggest thing that stood out to you?  

• Have someone read Genesis 12:1-9 and Hebrews 11:8,17-18. What are you looking forward to learning from the story of Abraham in the next few weeks? 

• Abraham is characterized by his faith. How have you thought about “faith” before? Did anything shift for you after hearing the message today? 

• In his recap of Genesis 1-11, Pastor Brian highlighted how important it is for God’s people to listen to His voice rather than going our own way. He encouraged us to consider: where is your trust? Whose voice are you listening to? We all have areas in our life where we don’t fully put our trust in God; what is that for you? 

• Why do you think you haven’t trusted God’s voice in that area before?

• One of the encouragements we see from Abraham’s story is that faith is learned and grown. God’s ready to walk with us as we cultivate our faith and make Him a priority. What’s a specific step you can take towards that active trust in the area you named? 

• Let’s end with a piece of encouragement: As you look back on your faith journey, what’s an area you feel you’ve grown in listening to and following God’s voice? Celebrate that by sharing with your group. 

• Conclude your group in prayer: Pray that our whole church will grow in active trust as we study the life of Abraham and as we take active steps towards listening to Him. Pray for any steps named in your group today.
