Discussion Questions

1. Abraham was asked to surrender what was most precious to him. What might God be asking you to lay down or surrender in this season?

2. When has obedience to God not made sense in your life? How did your faith grow through that experience?

3. The pastor asked, “Do we love the promises of God more than God Himself?” How would you answer that question honestly today?

4. How does the example of Abraham—and ultimately Jesus—challenge your understanding of faith as an action, not just a belief?

5. What “if only regrets” or “what if possibilities” are shaping your decisions right now?
