Big Faith but Partial Obedience Group Guide

February 2023

Discuss Together

  • What is a word or two you hope people would use to describe you? Why?
  • Read Hebrews 11:8. How would you define the words “faith” or “faithful”? Has the way you defined faith changed over time? How?
  • Read Genesis 12:1-3. What was God calling Abraham (also called Abram) to do? What do you think Abraham felt and wrestled with as he heard this call from God?
  • Have you ever felt God prompting you to do something that was both exciting and scary? Share about it with the group.
  • Abraham had a lot of starts and stops in his faith journey; he sometimes settled for comfort, got sidetracked, and made mistakes. In what way can you relate with Abraham’s faith journey?
  • Is there such a thing as a fully devoted follower of God? Why or why not? If God isn’t looking for perfection, what is he looking for?
  • Are you in “pause mode,” where you are staying in a place of comfort when God is calling you to a place of promise?
  • What does a next step look like for you in your faith journey? Are you feeling discouraged anywhere? Where do you have momentum?
