We are a couple of days out from Sunday’s sermon, and you know how easy it is for the busyness of the week to crowd out what we heard. It’s time to apply what we are learning! If you are looking for your focus this week, here are your three next steps to walk out:
1️⃣ Prayer Focus
Make this your daily prayer: "Lord, increase my fear of You and decrease my fear of others."
2️⃣ Write It Down
Write out your testimony this week. Don’t overthink it or make it complicated. Simply write about why you choose to follow Jesus. What has He personally done in your life that makes you want to follow Him? Bonus points if you actually take a step of faith and share it with someone this week!
3️⃣ Talk It Out
Fear of man thrives in isolation. Grab a trusted friend, your spouse, or your small group and discuss one specific area where the fear of man has silenced you. Use these questions to guide your conversation:
-How does the balance of God’s justice (hell) and His deep care (the sparrows) shape the way you view yourself and others?
-How can we do a better job of boldly proclaiming truth publicly in our families and our communities?
-What does “fearing God” practically look like in your daily decisions, your parenting, and your workplace?
Let's not just be hearers of the Word this week, OP. Let's be doers. How can we be praying for you as you step out in boldness today? Drop a comment below!
