Study

  1. Romans 8:37, John 3:3-5 When we accept Christ we are born again, we are born into a life
    of salvation and victory found only in Jesus which allows us to conquer everything in our way.

    1. John 8:44, Heb 3:12 Two of the main things the devil tries to use to keep us from becoming who God has called us to be and accomplishing his purpose are fear and doubt.
      1. Isaiah 41:10 The devil will use fear to intimidate us, control us and keep us from stepping out and doing great things for God.
      2. James 1:6 The devil will try to cause us to doubt God, doubt his promises and doubt that he will come through for us when we face challenges or attacks.
    2. John 16:33, Phil 4:6-8 In life we will all face struggles and our faith will be tested, when this happens we need to turn to God rather than give into fear and doubt.
  2. Rom 1:17, 2 Cor 5:7 We must remember that the Christian walk is a life of faith, when we choose to trust God rather than doubt and give into fear we will see God do great things.
    1. Psalms 56:3, 1 John 4:4 We need to choose to face every fear that comes at our way and do exactly what the fear tries to tell us we cannot do.
      1. 2 Peter 3:9  When we are facing a challenge or waiting on God to fulfill a promise, we need to choose to trust God rather than take things into our own hands.
      2. Psalms 27:14  We also need to wait on God and trust that he knows how much we can handle and he knows the best way and the best time to provide for our needs.
    2. Ps 108:13, Ps 50:15  We will all face fear and doubt, if we allow fear and doubt to hold us back we will live defeated, but if we rise up and conquer the fear and doubt that comes at us than we will always be victorious! We were born to conquer! #Borntoconquer!

 

        Discussion

  1. Why do you feel that so many youth and young adults today are being held back by fear and doubt?
  2. What do you feel are some of the main fears and doubts that are holding back this generation from surrendering to God and fulfilling his will for their lives?
  3. Can you share a testimony of a time when you faced a challenge but chose to trust God instead of giving into doubt and fear? In what ways did God come through for you?
  4. What are some fears and doubts that you personally need to conquer? Are you ready to surrender those fears and doubts to God so that you can be victorious?

End: Pray for those who want to conquer every fear and doubt in their lives, pray for any who need to              accept Christ, then take requests.
