Psalms 144:1-15. Verse 1 KJV, what’s the war God wants me to fight in his name, even this very day? What skills of war does he want to teach me?
Jeremiah 26:1-24. Debating whether Jeremiah should die for warning of God’s justice. What is the biggest risk I’ve ever taken for my faith? What’s an even bigger risk God may ask me to take soon? Am I ready?
Romans 10:14-21. Difficulties of spreading the gospel. What’s my church doing to make new believers? Is it enough? My role?
