Community Group Study Notes
-
Share a High and a low from your week.
-
Have someone in your group give a brief recap of Sunday’s message, highlighting the primary Scripture points and the main idea of the message.
-
How did this message strengthen and/or correct your previous ideas about God’s promises and Abraham’s covenant? Was there anything you heard for the first time or that caught your attention, challenged, or confused you? Did you learn anything new about God or yourself this week?
-
God always keeps His promises. Can you think of a time in your life when you had to trust in God’s promises, even when circumstances seemed uncertain?
-
Abraham had to wait 25 years for the child God promised him. How does this challenge our expectations of God’s timing versus our own?
-
Interact with this statement: “The promises of God are just as sure as His presence.” How can we remind ourselves of this truth in moments of doubt?
-
How does the promise of an eternal kingdom change the way we view our daily lives and priorities?
-
What action step do you need to take in response to this week’s message? How can your group hold you accountable to this step?
Action Step
Take at least one of the following action steps this week:
-
Reflect on God’s promises: Spend time this week identifying one specific promise of God in Scripture that you need to trust in your current season of life. Write it down, pray over it, and remind yourself daily that God's promises are as sure as His presence.
-
Walk in Obedience: Just as Abraham responded in faith to God's call, identify one area where God is prompting you to step out in faith. This might be trusting Him with a big decision, surrendering control, or taking a step of obedience even when the outcome is uncertain.
Bless someone: Since God's covenant with Abraham included being a blessing to the nations, look for one intentional way to be a blessing this week—whether through generosity, encouragement, or sharing the hope of Christ with someone who needs it.
