Message: Trust and the Faithfulness of God Bill Scott 04.26.15   

We all make major, significant decisions in life—that have a significant impact on all we do. Most of the decisions involve relationships—we bet our lives on those relationships.Christians put our faith in God; we put our ultimate hope faith and trust in the person of Jesus Christ in life.

  1. What is your trust quotient—your trust factor in relationships?  2. What has been your approach to your relationship with God—tip

toe or cannon ball?   Proverbs 3:5-6

  3. How has your approach to God been impacted by results of prior

relationships?   We must learn to not look at God the same way you look at others! Deuteronomy 7:9

  4. If I say I am going to do something and then don’t do it, despite

the best intentions, what does that mean?  God never does this. He is not like us. Numbers 23:19 5. If you have trusted someone you’ve put your faith in, someone

who has betrayed the trust, what is your reaction in that situation?

  In that instance, do we cut and run? Gomer knows: God does not.

  6. Do we base our assessment of the faithfulness of God and the

trustworthiness of his promise, upon our current life circumstances?

  Consider Israel in Egypt and Jacob.

  7. So how do we manage when we do not feel the faithfulness of

God? Gaze at the empty tomb and bear one another’s burden.
