Taking Worship Home (Saturday 03/06)

Published on March 06, 2010 by Robert Recio

Introduction:  Read John 2:23-3:15.  Man’s inability to see God’s kingdom requires the sovereign mercy of God to be overcome.

Meditation:  Read Romans 4:13-25.

1. Why does God give us promises?  Why doesn’t he leave us with the law?

2. Why could Abraham look to God’s promises in hope even though he was as good as dead?  How does this fit with being born again?

3. How does Christ’s death and resurrection serve as support for our faith and hope in God’s promises?

4. Are you confident in God’s promises?  What promises do you doubt?  What is the source of these doubts?  How can they be overcome?

5. Pray that God would convince you of his ability and goodwill toward you.  Look to the promises of the gospel and know that God spares no expense to come to the rescue of his people—even those who are as good as dead!
