Talk It In

What does this reveal about who God is?

I. Read 2 Corinthians 5:7

1. Now that we’ve heard about the CULTIVATE: GROW · FLOW · SOW commitment results, what step do you know you need to take to walk by faith and do your part?
2. In your own words, what does it mean that faith is a compass, not a map? Why is faith integral in life with God?
3. Where in your life are you waiting for a full map when God may already have given you direction?

II. Read Hebrews 11:8–10

1. What stands out to you about Abraham going “without knowing where he was going?”
2. What does this passage reveal about the difference between knowing where and knowing who?
3. How does Abraham’s orientation toward a “city with eternal foundations” challenge how you think about your own future?

Talk About It

How do we practically apply this?

III. Faith leads you to believe and obey. Abraham moved. Sarah waited. Both required belief and obedience as expressions of faith.

1. Where is God inviting you to move? Where is God inviting you to wait?
2. What is one area where you need to obey before clarity comes? When have you experienced blessing or breakthrough on the other side of obedience?
3. Who or what helps you stay oriented to Jesus in real life? Where might fear be trying to convince you to pull away instead of stay close to Jesus?

IV. Read James 4:8

1. What does drawing near look like for you in a tangible, daily way?
2. Where have you felt spiritually “stuck” or less responsive recently, and what step could help free the needle of your heart this week?

Take It Home

What are we doing this week?

1. As you reflect on CULTIVATE: GROW · FLOW · SOW, which lane requires the most faith from you right now?
2.  By Faith I Look Forward. By Faith I Walk On…
   1. What is one situation where you need to lift your eyes and look forward in faith?
   2. Complete this sentence and share it with the group: “This week, by faith, I will ______.”

Reorient the Compass

Take a moment for each person to share:

• One area where they need renewed orientation toward God

• One specific step they will take this week to walk by faith

After everyone shares, pray together:

• Ask God to soften your hearts and keep you responsive

• Ask for courage to obey before you see the outcome

• Ask for clarity through closeness

• Ask for strength to walk on when the terrain feels uncertain
