The Proposal (Part 2)

We're going to continue on the same topic this week as we delve deeper into The Proposal.  God has so created things that He chooses to partner with us.  In this partnership, there are responsibilities that each party has.  We'll be building more on the Ephesians 3:20 concept introduced earlier.  Here is a picture of the concept.

Here are the questions we'll be using for our break out discussion:

• How does your life align to each of these two statements: "What do you believe?" and "Do what you believe."
• How do you respond when you experience people “doing what they believe” and it’s something you can’t align with? Why?
• Mark 11:24 (NLT) states: "I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours." Describe how this scripture falls in context of the Mark 11:12-26.
• 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NIV) talks about the concept of "[love] always trusts". What does this mean to you? How have you see this dynamic in your life?
• After reading James 2:19, how do you explain the difference between the intellectual acknowledgement of God and to believe God?
• Matthew 18:18-20 (NIV) talks, in part, about how two can agree on anything and ask for it, that it will be done. What are the conditions? Who are the parties? Do the conditions or “who” the two people are matter? Why?
• Talk about some "what if" examples where you've experienced this. Also, give some examples of where you are expectant of this happening.
• God's supply to you is partly described in Philippians 4:19. What does this mean to you in your daily living for Him?

"Whereof what's past is prologue; what to come, In yours and my discharge."
