"The Algorithm Of The Impossible"

Icebreaker

If you had to pick a theme song for your faith journey right now, what would it be and why?

Talk About It Questions

Part I. Read Hebrews 11:1-6 and Talk About It

1. How does the scriptural description of faith help you comprehend what it is?
2. If you had a 1-10 faith-meter on your heart, what would yours rate? Why?
3. What does that have to do with pleasing God?

Part II. Read Hebrews 11:1-2 and Talk About It

1. How have you personally experienced the tension between what is and what could be, and how did faith play a part in what happened?

Part III. Read 1 Peter 1:6-7 and Talk About It

1. How have you experienced the Algorithm of Faith?
   1. Dead > Alive > Problem > Fear > Trust > Perceive > Authority> Action > Victory!

Part IV. Read Matthew 17:19-20 and Talk About It

1. What is something you are believing for in your life?
2. What’s one mountain in your life that feels immovable right now? How will you speak to it this week by faith instead of being crushed beneath it?

Part V. Read 2 Corinthians 5:7 & Galatians 2:20 and Talk About It

1. How could you use these scriptural declarations as you face those mountains?

Activation: Fear vs. Faith Lens 

 Leader note: Prepare slips of paper or have Post-its ready. 

Purpose: What do we see when we look through the lens of fear, and what do we see when we look through the lens of faith? This isn’t about denying fear, but confronting it and replacing it with faith through trust in God.

How It Works:

1. Give everyone 2 slips of paper.
2. Take a moment to reflect: “What is something you have been looking at through a lens of fear? How can you look through a lens of faith?"
3. Write that fear down on the first slip of paper.
4. Using a faith statement, rename it through the lens of faith (write it on the second slip of paper).
   1. Example:
      1. (Paper #1) Through Fear: I'm afraid I'll fail.
      2. (Paper #2) Through Faith: God, you are faithful to complete what you started in me.
5. To build trust and grow together, take turns reading your statements.
6. End by burning or tearing up the fear papers, and praying together.
