Reflecting on Faith
Bible Reading: Matthew 24:8-13
8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Reflection: Reflect on what it means to have faith. Think about what challenges our faith today. Research the answers to any questions you have about Noah’s ark by going to the websites of Answers in Genesis (www.answersingenesis.org) or Institute for Creation Research (www.icr.org).
Journal Writing: What is an important truth from the reflection? Why do you need to know that truth?
Application Prayer: Write out a prayer for God’s insight and help into how you can apply the truth from the reflection.
Week’s Memory Verse: Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
