Discovery Lesson 8

Week 8 – Discovering the Faith

8.1) What is your definition of “faith”?

Give an example of “everyday” faith in your life?

Examples:
l. Sitting on a chair
ll. Plugging in a light to the electrical outlet
lll. Taking a trip on an airplane

8.2) In our lesson today, we recognized that everyone has a history and a destiny.

In the past, how have you allowed your history to steal your destiny?

Name a time when you limited yourself by past restrictions from advancing forward in your life?

Examples:
l. Didn’t pursue a better vocation because you were told you were no good at anything else
ll. Not disciplining self to quit a bad habit because tried before and couldn’t
lll. Dropped out of school because told you were dumb as a child

8.3) Name a time in your life when your faith grew from keeping your heart filled with God’s Word, even when you didn’t “feel” like it?

Give an example of a time in your life when God confirmed His word to you through your faith?

Examples:
l. Physical healing when the Doctor’s report was saying otherwise
ll. Money left over at the end of the month after paying tithes at the beginning of the month when you couldn’t “afford” to.
lll. Promotion at the job when several others were ahead of you in line

8.4) Hebrews 5:14 says “But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil”.

How can you apply your understanding of faith from today’s lesson to a current situation in your life?

What is an area presently in your life you need to have faith for & how will you remain in faith?

Examples:
l. Loved one’s salvation/continue praying salvation scriptures over them & see them as a believer
ll. Financial increase/continue tithing, speaking God’s covenant to you & Him
lll. Improved marriage/continue serving spouse in love, pray with spouse for them and the marriage, spend time w/other strong “believer” marriages in your church family (life group)
