NATURE ALTERING FAITH

WITH YOUR STUDENT GROUP

Take turns reading a few verses each until all of this weeks study has been read together.


GROUP FOCUS

Joshua 10:11-14


GROUP DISCUSSION

Here we see Joshua make an extraordinary request of God by asking that the sun and the moon stand still. What’s most extraordinary is that God actually did what Joshua asked! For the next few minutes consider the following questions within your group and see how the LORD expands your faith to see the impossible become possible.

  1. In verse 12 the Bible says, Joshua prayed to the LORD in front of all the people of Israel (NLT). Why was it important to pray so that everyone could hear his prayer? Why is it sometimes important for you to pray so that others can hear your prayers?

  1. Why should we believe today that God is still the LORD of creation and that He can still alter the course of nature for the benefit of His people?

  1. How is being born again, being baptized with the Holy Spirit, being called into missionary service or other great steps of faith in your life as “nature altering” as freak hailstorms or the sun standing still?

  1. What great miracle would you like to see God perform for you today?


PRAYER

  • Pray for each need within the group.
  • Ask if anyone needs to be born again or baptized in the Holy Ghost today.
  • Ask if anyone is feeling called to some extraordinary change in their life today.
