Reflection/Discussion Questions:
- Bryce discussed the boldness and confidence that we have access to through faith. How would you describe your approach to God in this season of your life on a scale of 1-10? 1 = fear and avoidance, and 10 = being bold.
- What would you say has not hurt your confidence in going to God, or what could hurt?
- Share your thoughts on how believers should approach God.
- What was the idea behind this from Paul? Why was Paul so passionate in these passages about us understanding this?
- How does this fit with what Paul started talking about in the beginning of Chapter 3? If there is time, share your thoughts on this: If this access is part of the promise, where should we be more bold and confident? Where should this boldness show up, and where should there be less as followers of Jesus?
Clarify:
Does anyone need clarity on something? Are there any big God questions you are wrestling with?
Celebrate:
Celebrate life’s successes and God’s provision. Worship God’s presence. Time to brag about God.

Through the Bible in one Year
Join us in reading through the entire Bible in one year. Each day of this plan guides you through passages from both the Old and New Testaments, allowing you to see connections between the history of our faith, and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. Readings average four chapters in length, so it is posible to do. When you use the YouVersion Bible App, you can even have the app read the Bible text to you – very useful when you are in the car or otherwise occupied with your hand.
All you need to do is click the link to the Bible Plan, which should lead you straight to the Bible app. Your two options are now (1) to read the plan on your own, one day at the time. Or (2) you can make it more fun and rewarding, by sharing the plan with one or more friends, and then even “Talk about it”.
