A Powerful Promise
2 Peter 1:4
Quotable?
“Best of All, God is with us”
- John Wesley
Statement of Truth: Do what is right because you know it to be right, and one day it will feel right.
Life Lesson: God’s promises are great and precious.
I. God’s Promises are Great
Question? What is so great about the promises of God?
- They come from a Great God.
ESV Psalm 145:3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.
- The promises are great because they cover the great issues.
ESV 2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, - The Promises are great because they lead to a great life.
II. God’s Promises are Precious
- Precious takes time.
- Precious takes proving.
Statement of Truth:
Every promise you read about in the Bible deals with a corresponding problem we face in life. {Example: Fear}
Life Lesson:
The problem is not when fear visits us, the problem is when fear moves in to stay!
A Great and Powerful Promise: I will not fear for God is with me.
Questions to Consider:
- Do you tend to live life based on emotions or the promises of God revealed in His truth?
- What Promise from God do you rely on most in your life?
- How do you tend to deal with the problem of fear? {How should you deal with deal with the problem of fear?}
- What other problems do you face that God has promised to provide refuge for?
4. Pastor Steven said he believes that “Fear is the complete state of
anti-God” Do you agree with this why or why not?
5. As a follower of Jesus Christ, what confidence do you gain
standing on the promise that God is with you?
Memorize:
ESV Hebrews 13:5-6 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”
