Think it out

Talk it out

  • What are some ways we try to achieve righteousness instead of receiving it by faith?

  • Why do we often put our faith in something other than God? What is the outcome of misplaced faith?

Live it out

  • Romans 4:7-8 is a quote from Psalm 32. Read this psalm aloud, one line at a time, personalizing it to your life.

  • Who in your life struggles to have faith? Use truths from this message to encourage them this week.
