Sermon

God’s Promises Are Greater Than My Perception

December 5, 2021 Aaron OsborneSermons2 Corinthians, Joshua, Numbers

If we rely on our physical sight, we can only see a portion of what is going on around us, and we miss out on God’s might, power, and provision. We should doubt our perception before we doubt God’s promises.

God’s Promises Are Greater Than My Perception

  2. What are the promises of God that are most significant for you as you walk through life?
  3. What parts of life cause you to struggle in maintaining a grasp on the promises of God?
  4. What is a situation you are experiencing that draws your attention to “what you can see” and takes your eyes off of the promises of God?
  5. Are there ways in which you tend to be self-reliant on your own provision instead of coming before the Lord?
  6. Read Joshua 1:1-9. Discuss what it means for you to be strong and courageous right now.
