What Situations Give Me A Pass on Obeying - Day 5

Alright so let's wrap up this week.....so if you've missed anything, just go back and review the past blogs for this week.

Yesterday we camped out on the point that we should obey even when we are afraid.  We talked about how Abram followed God with blind faith and was obedient, but he was definatley a little scared.

Check out this quote...

"Rest in this - it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call or whatever you want to call it.  It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond, or what have you."  Jim Elliot.

Do you believe God will take care of you if you step out on blind faith?  Why or why not?

What is something that you have done with our youth group that has been out of your comfort zone ( maybe such as MFUGE or Bridge Ministry, or maybe it's coming up at Take Back the City next week)?

What did you learn from that experience?

How has God proven Himself to be faithful to you in the past?  How can those experiences help you trust Him in the future?

What are some things about your future (college, marriage, career) of which you are afraid?  How can God help you in those areas?  Do you trust God in those areas?

Imagine we were at church and all of a sudden we have a fire drill!  I stand up and call for everybody's attention and I tell you guys to get on your hands and knees and to follow me out of the room.  I tell you guys to remain calm and to stay directly behind me and close to me.  So I lead you guys outside the building safely.  Then lets' say I gather you all up outside the building and tell you guys it was only a drill - there wasn't a real fire.  Don't you think it's interesting how you guys would be willing to follow me on your hands and knees without asking too many questions?  You trusted me and you followed me without knowing where we were going or why we were going there.

If you will follow me or Coat with blind faith, why won't you follow God?

The point of this week has been to emphasize that we need to follow God regardless.  What does that mean to you?  What can you do this week to follow God more completely?

See ya on Sunday morning!
