The Future Beckons: Faith
Guide:
- Read Luke 8
- Watch video
- Answer questions
Question 1
Storms and Miracles: In the story of the storm (Luke 8:22-25), the disciples were terrified, but the storm ultimately prepared them to witness a miracle. Can you think of a time when a personal “storm” in your life opened your heart to see God’s power in a new way? How did that experience change your perspective?
Question 2
Facing Chaos: The demon-possessed man recognized Jesus even in his darkest moment. What internal struggles or “chaos” are you currently facing that might be blocking your spiritual growth? How can you invite Jesus into those areas to bring healing and clarity?
Question 3
Have a faith that pushes through and perseveres: The woman who reached out to touch Jesus’ cloak didn’t wait for the perfect moment—she acted in faith despite the obstacles. Is there an area in your life where you feel called to take a bold step of faith, even if it feels like an interruption or long shot? What’s holding you back from reaching out to Jesus in that area?
Question 4
Holding onto Hope: Like Jairus, there are times when it feels “too late” for a miracle, yet Jesus told him to just believe. Is there a situation in your life right now where you’re struggling to keep hope alive? How can you choose to trust God’s timing, even when it feels like the situation is beyond repair?
Prayer
Lord, prepare our hearts for the miracle You want to do. Help us to step forward in faith, even when it feels risky. Calm the storms, heal the chaos, and bring life where we need it most. We are available to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
