Discussion Questions 19 August 2023 “How to Develop Genuine Faith”
These questions are here to stimulate dialogue about today’s topic – feel free to skip around or discuss items not listed here.
- Why do we need faith in God? Why doesn’t God give us enough to ‘know without a doubt’?
- Have you ever encountered doubt in your faith journey? How did you handle it? Did it lead you to explore your faith more deeply or did it create challenges for you?
- What are some ‘unexplainable’ questions you have that create doubt? What are some ‘undeniable’ things you have experienced that build faith?
- How does the story of Jesus healing the boy demonstrate Jesus valuing the effort of the father to believe, even in the presence of doubt? How might this perspective impact the way you approach your struggles with faith?
- How has being part of a faith community impacted your own faith journey? How might engaging with others help you navigate doubts and uncertainties?
- Can you think of decisions you’ve made in your life where you acted with uncertainty? How might the same approach be applied to your faith journey?
- What role do you think doubt plays in the process of deepening your relationship with God? How can you balance questioning with trust in your faith journey?
