With God, With Others, On Mission Takeaways:
With God:
- Look up scriptures that mention the “fear of God” or the “fear of the Lord” this week and ask God to produce, restore and strengthen this kind of fear of Him in your life.
- Make a list of specific sins that you struggle with. Confess them to God, receive forgiveness, and ask for His help to overcome them.
With Others:
- Identify a practical need in the life of another believer that you can meet as a way of honoring them.
- Find a way to humbly confront and encourage another believer who is struggling with sin in their life.
On Mission:
- Pray for a specific unbeliever in your life to grow in the fear of God and come to trust in His love.
- Reach out to that person to connect with them. Seek an opportunity to pray with them and share your salvation story.
