Mission – March 25, Romans 4
- Even though God’s promise was impossible, since he and Sarai were both old and childless, Abraham believed God. Abraham was declared righteous because of his faith (Genesis 15:6). What does it mean to trust God when circumstances are out of your control?
- The Gospel in its very nature is scandalous. Why do you think it offends people? What does it reveal about us? What does it reveal about God?
- As Christians, we have a tendency of becoming too familiar with God’s grace. When we do this, we risk falling into an ‘us’ and ‘them’ mentality where we forget that saving faith is for all who believe. Who are the people who you inadvertently alienate from the promises of God? What practical things can you do to avoid falling into this trap?
Mission – March 18, Genesis 22
- What are some of the parallels between Isaac and Jesus?
- How is the promise to Abraham fulfilled through Jesus?
- How is that Promise extended to us?

Abbotsford – March 18, Genesis 22
Mission – March 11, Genesis 20:1-21:7
- Read Genesis 12:10-20 and then read Genesis 20:1-18. What is similar in these passages? What is different?
- Why do you think Abraham used the same tactic in Genesis 20 (calling his wife his sister) with Abimelech that he used with Pharaoh in Genesis 12? What was motivating him? Why didn’t he learn the lesson the first time around?
- What are some perpetual sins that Christians tend to struggle with? What advice would you give to those struggling with those sins regarding how to avoid them? Why do we struggle so much with committing the same sins over and over again?
