The Last Arrow Message Notes-Week 2
Here are the notes to Pastor Steve’s message for “The Last Arrow” on Sunday, July 12th, 2020. Feel free to print them and follow along during the online message at 9:55 a.m on Facebook.
This week’s key idea:
God is calling you to live a life where you ______________________ rather than _______________________.
Next to him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines banded together at a place where there was a field full of lentils, Israel’s troops fled from them. 12 But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field. He (Shammah) defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the Lord brought about a great victory. 2 Samuel 23:11-12
How do I stand my ground in life?
Embrace what _______________________ for your life rather than what_______________________.
Embrace what is _______________________ and resist what is _______________________.
Embrace steps of _______________________ and resist steps of _______________________.
Reflection question
Do I choose steps of faith more or give into my fears more?
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:28-31
We are standing right where we are because of our steps of faith or our steps of fear.
Faith leads us forward but fear pulls us backwards.
Reflection questions
What steps of faith is God calling you to?
What causes you to fear?
Where in life is God challenging you to stand your ground?
The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. 23 Great is his faithfulness; his mercies are new each morning. Lamentations 3:22-23 (NLT)
