Oultine

I. AN IMMOVABLE MOUNTAIN
The key to trust is to think great thoughts of God.

 

II. STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND
Your strength is not the solution to the problem you’re facing; its part of the problem.

 

III. THE NAME OF THE LORD
The Name of the Lord is a strong tower.

Quotes

“Living as Christian is not walking a tightrope without a safety net high above a breathless crowd, many of whom would like nothing better than the morbid thrill of seeing you fall; it is sitting secure in a fortress.” - Eugene Peterson

Discussion Questions

  1. As you think of your life, is it more thermostat or thermometer?
  2. Do you feel more like you're on a tightrope high above the crowd or safe in a fortress?
  3. Where are you tempted to put your hands on your life? Why is it so hard to take your hands off that situation and put it in God's hands?
  4. Do you struggle to believe that God is trustworthy? If so, why?
  5. How can you know for sure that God is both great and good?
