Learn to abide with us
We’re beginning a journey to discover the fullness of joy Jesus promises. A joy grounded in unshaken faith in every season. Together, we’ll learn what it practically means to abide in Jesus, to be captivated by His goodness, and to experience the deep, lasting joy our souls long for. As we commit to this process with humility and honesty, we believe God will do a transforming work in us as we've never experienced before.
Weekly reflection questions
WORD: GOD’S CHARACTER & NATURE
WEEK 3 ABIDE QUESTIONS
April 6th
What “lesser god” (approval of others, financial security, personal comfort, more possessions, etc.) is currently vying to be on the throne of your heart and keeping you from abiding in Christ?
How would acknowledging and embracing the sheer greatness of the Lord place that “lesser god” back in its proper place?
April 7th
When you look at the worldly obstacles or difficulties in your life, are you viewing them as more powerful than God’s sovereign plan?
What steps can you take to abide in El Shaddai (God Almighty), whose purposes cannot be thwarted, allowing you to release anxiety or fear and trust His guaranteed outcome instead?
April 8th
In what area of your life do you feel “empty” or like you have “nothing” left to offer or give?
How does knowing the God (Elohim) who began creation “ex nihilo” (from or out of nothing) help you trust that He is working to create something good in the midst of your emptiness, and specifically in what ways?
April 9th
Are there areas of your life in which you are “counseling” God by telling Him how it should turn out?
How would abiding in the God who is entirely wise, far beyond our understanding, allow you to stop exhausting yourself with what-ifs, and what steps can you take to trust the One who already possesses the perfect solution?
April 10th
What areas of life are you currently judging God’s goodness based on human reasoning, logic, timing, or expectation?
In what ways can you grow your ability to abide in His higher, eternal perspective and lead to an increased ability to trust Him with situations that don’t make sense or are a challenge to you?
April 11th
Are there areas of your life that you are attempting to deal with current struggles or difficulties in your own strength, as if God were distant?
What can you do presently to consciously rest in the reality that He is fully present with you, entirely distinct from your problems but sovereign over them?
