Understanding Our Times

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  Hebrews 13:8

"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Hebrews 13:5

"Whether we be novices beginning the journey or veterans so close to the end of it we never buy green bananas, the response Jesus seeks is always the same: trust."    Brennan Manning

DISCUSS: 

     What do you need to trust God with today? 

     How hard is it for you to trust?

...from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do - 1 Chronicles 12:32

And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. 1 Peter 3:15-16

DISCUSS:

     What do we need to understand about the times we are currently living in?

     How can we respond in a way that is gentle, respectful, and explains the hope we have in Jesus?

     Is there a time when you have had an opportunity to explain the hope you have? Have you seen someone else do this in a biblical way?

Read James 4:13-15

DISCUSS:

     How good are you at trusting God with the unknown, with the future?

Read Psalm 121

Consider reading this Psalm every day for a week and meditate on where you need the Lord's help and the truth that He watches over you.
