WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDY 7.8.20

READ Luke 6:46-49

The storm is happening around us on multiple fronts, it may feel like the stream has broken and flood is rising. If you are honest, in the quiet - between you and Lord, Do you feel steady and secure, or do you feel shaken by all that’s happening in our world? 

If you’re honest,  and you feel shaken : 
Read the passage again.
  • Did you remember this passage was about obedience, that ‘building your house on the rock’ meant doing the words of Jesus?

  • Belief in Jesus is no doubt an essential part of our faith, but Jesus does not say our foundation is belief - it is hearing and doing the words of Jesus. How are you doing at obeying the words of Jesus? 

  • What are some practices of Jesus‘ you can try to incorporate in your daily life? 

  • What may the Spirit be nudging you do in obedience to him? 

If you’re hones t,  and you feel steady and secure: 
  • How can you reach out to someone you know who is shaking and encourage them? 

  • How can you set an example in word and deed for those in your family and those around you? 

  • Is there any way the Spirit is leading you to obey in a new way to build upon your foundation? 


LISTEN:



PRAY: 
We are a people who cry, “Lord, Lord.”
May we be a people who do what you say. 

We are a people who want to stand steady and secure
in the storm. 
May we be a people who do what you say. 

Sometimes, we are a people that are shaken
by the storm raging around us. 
Help us be a people who do what you say. 

Jesus, we want to obey your words. 
Help us. 

Jesus, we want to stand upon the solid rock. 
Help us. 

Help us, in the name of the Father, Son, and Spirit.  

Amen .
