Discussion Questions:

- What has been your experience with or understanding of prophecy in the New Testament context? How does this differ from Old Testament prophecy?
- Pastor Jackson mentioned that many Christians feel tired trying to follow Jesus. Have you experienced this? How does the idea of trusting God’s faithfulness to transform us change your perspective on Christian living?
- How does understanding that God saves us to a people (not just from our sins) impact the way you view and interact with your church community?
- In what areas of your life do you find it most challenging to trust God? How can we grow in trusting Him more deeply?
Practical Applications:
- This week, practice intentional gratitude by writing down three things you’re thankful for each day, even in challenging circumstances.
- Set aside time each day to pray and listen for God’s voice. Journal any impressions or thoughts you believe may be from Him.
- Identify one area where you’ve been striving in your own strength to change. Surrender this to God and ask Him to transform you in this area.
- Reach out to someone in your church community you don’t know well. Invite them for coffee or a meal to build deeper connections within the body of Christ.
- Reflect on the sermon’s emphasis on trust. Choose one practical way you can demonstrate greater trust in God this week and share it with the group.
