Memorial Day

“Rust”

Reflect on What You’ve Heard

1. Rust can have big impacts on our lives and our relationships, what is an example of rusty faith that you have experienced in your life? How did it affect you?

2.  Grant gave 3 ways to get rid of the rust (Go to Church, Confess and Repent, and Believe) of those 3 things, what is one that you are good at and one that could use more work?

3. What are some things that you have tried to use to fuel you instead of your relationship with God? (i.e. friendships, spouse, kids, job, money, partying, etc.)

4. What can you do this week to get rid of any of the rust on your faith? What can you do to make sure you are fueled by God?

Pray it Out

God, you are so good despite my shortcomings! Help me to look to you continually, amen.
