Knowing You Know God #9 "Know How to Have Gospel Confidence"

Whether it’s the truth of the gospel, the genuineness of our own faith, or the effectiveness of our prayers, Christians often struggle with assurance in God's promises in their life. In this message from 1 John 5:6–21, Grandpa Pastor John teaches us how we can live with gospel confidence by knowing the Gospel and living in the privileges of the Gospel. God desires for His children to have confidence in both know and living in His promises.

Ice Breakers

What would be the strangest or silly thing you’ve ever prayed for?

Looking back on your childhood, what kinds of ordinary or silly things actually scared you?

Questions

1. Praying boldly to the God who created all things (Acts 4:23-24)

Who is the boldest person you know and where would they say their boldness comes from?

Discuss this definition of boldness – Boldness is behavior born out of belief.

How should knowing God is the Creator of the universe affect our boldness?

2. Praying boldly to the God who controls all things (Acts 4:25-28)

How have you experienced persecution, insults, put downs, ridicule or suffering because of your faith?

How should knowing God is sovereignly working all things together for good inform and shape our boldness?

When we’re not bold, what are we afraid of? 

3. Praying boldly to the God who enables all things (4:29-31)

Have you ever experienced God giving you a boldness that wasn’t your own? What was the situation and what happened?

What situations and circumstances in your life do you need to pray for boldness?

How would your Christian walk change if you weren’t scared of anything (finances, persecution, failure, etc.)?
