The
Vineyard- October 4, 2015
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me
and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do
nothing. – John 15:5
Genesis 43:1-34
Pray
for God to speak to you through the reading of His word.

Have you ever faced a challenge or
trial in your life where faith was a necessity?
o
How did you respond in that moment
when you needed faith?
-
Proactively building a reactive
faith
o
The ability to respond in faith when
confronted with challenges and trials is born out of proactively preparing
ourselves.
o
What things can you do to build your
faith so that it is strong when you face times of trial and challenges?
-
Remembering God’s goodness
o
When
Jacob is confronted with a life-or-death decision, he invokes a blessing from
God, and refers to God in a familiar way.
The way that Jacob refers to God is the way he is referred to in key
moments in the life of Jacob’s family.
o
What
are some ways God has blessed you in the past?
o
What
can you do to remember God’s past goodness and faithfulness when facing trying
times?
Pray that when faith is necessary,
your faith will be real and present in your life.
Dedicate yourself to proactively
strengthening your faith.
Rehearse all the ways that God has
blessed you, and been faithful to you in the past.
