Every week, I will present questions and exercises for contemplation and application of the weekly message. Here are this weeks questions and exercises:

 FAITH DEFINED: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________. Hebrews 11:1

o “The substance” = “__________________________________”

 _________________ is the “_________________” of faith. Compare Hebrews 1:3.

 So, faith properly understood is defined as follows: “__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.”

o “The evidence” = The evidence of our relationship with Christ is what scripture in Hebrews 11 calls “____________________.”

(2) Hypothetical: You’ve got about a year to live. No more. No less. Now, ask yourself these questions: 

• How would this diagnosis affect your vision of life? 

• How would it affect your view of your roles on earth? (friend, parent, daughter, son) 

• How would it affect the way you invest your money and time? 

(3) On a separate piece of pare or in your journal, take inventory of your relationships, responsibilities and resources.

(4) Pray about what a terminal diagnosis means for your relationships, responsibilities and resources.

(5) How does a Christ-centered vision for the life we have been given impact what we do when we come together on Sunday morning?

(6) Why are you in this church community on Sunday Morning?

(7) If we only have one year to live, how does that impact how we spend Sunday mornings together.

(8) If we only had 52 Sundays together, no more and no less, what would those Sundays look like?

(9) What would we do in our fellowship together on Sundays that would bring joy to our Lord?

(10) What would we do in our fellowship together on Sundays that would encourage, edify, and support one another?

(11) How would our fellowship together on Sundays impact the way we love our Lord, love one another, and all those he gives us to love and serve each week?

(12) How would the gathering we have on Sunday morning impact the rest of your week?
