Small Group Time:
Talking through the message during the week helps you and your group turn what God is saying to you into action
steps. Begin with key questions, add any optional Scriptures and questions if needed, and then wrap up by deciding on
your next steps.
Main Idea:
We all deal with fear. It’s become such a natural part of our life. We fear that sickness. We fear the unknown. We fear
the things we cannot control. We fear failure. We fear losing. So many aspects of our lives have made us FEARFUL. But
what if God’s intention was for us to a little more FEARLESS? What if God’s intention was for us to keep pushing
forward and to not quit in spite of our feelings of nervousness and uncertainty?
Key Questions:
1. Who is the most fearless person you know? Who is the biggest “scaredy-cat” you know? Explain.
2. Read Joshua 1:9. This is our theme verse for the series. Why do we have the tendency to look at being fearless
like it is impossible?
3. Ben said, “Fearless is possible when God’s Word is foundational.” Making God’s Word foundational in our lives
isn’t easy. What are some difficulties you’ve had when you’ve tried to read the Bible?
4. Have you ever found yourself wondering, “What’s the point?” to reading my Bible? Explain why you feel that
way.
5. One of the things Ben showed us was the usefulness of “marking up” (highlighting, underlining, etc.) our Bibles.
When you were growing up, did your mom or grandma have a beautiful Bible that was too sacred to touch?
How does marking up the Bible help us engage in His Word?
6. Read John 10:10 and Ephesians 2:10. This is the kind of foundation God gives us for being fearless. How can
these words propel us forward in our greatest difficulties and biggest fears?
7. The Bible is God’s love letter to us. Ben said, “Oftentimes, all we need to stand on is His love to overcome our
fears.” What are some plans you need to make to get into His Word (His love) more this year?
Next Steps:
