FEAR FADES YOUR LIGHT

Discussion Questions

1. If what we see depends on how we see, how do you see situations or circumstances that are before you? Do you see with eyes of fear or eyes of faith?

Numbers 13:18-20

See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many. What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad? What kind of towns do they live in? Are they unwalled or fortifed? How is the soil? Is it fertile or poor? Are there trees in it or not? Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land. (It was the season for the frst ripe grapes.)

2. What areas in your life have you seen fear over-exaggerate outcomes you can’t see? What is one thing you can do to avoid living in a made up future, and help you live your faith to the fullest today?

Numbers 13:32-33

Tey said, “Te land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”

3. Fear wants you to stay put! What is God asking you to step into right now that may seem scary and bigger than what you can handle? What fears is He asking you to step into so potential and great possibilities can be realized?

Numbers 13:30

Ten Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”

4. What specifc area do you feel God may be nudging you to boldly step out of and shine the light of Jesus? In what areas are you asking for the courage to raise your voice and walk bravely forward to share the love and message of Christ?

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
