Chapter 12 · Section Three, Stage 1: Promise
People With a Promise
Living inside a promise doesn't mean you reach the destination.
The question this chapter asks
What promise are you carrying, and who else knows about it?
Practice
10 minutes
The promise in one sentence
In one sentence, write the promise you are holding. Read it out loud once, then write what changed when you heard it. Keep the sentence where you will see it this week.
For the group
What promise are you carrying that you may not live to see completed? Say it to the group. The group's only job is to witness it, not to solve it or encourage it. Just hold it.
For the leader
This is one of the quietest weeks. Let the silence do the work.
If your group prays together
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
