Learning Objective: This Lent discover the One Thing that is the defining mark of authentic faith which unlocks your true purpose in life.

Scriptures: Galatians 5:6 | 1 Corinthians 13 | Proverbs 19:19 | 1 John 4 | Galatians 5:6 | Proverbs 19:19 | Romans 12:10 | Galatians 5:22-23

A Personal Reflection

Where have I allowed emotion to outrun love?
Where has my need to be right blocked my ability to honor?
Where have I moved in faith—but not in love?

What would change if love had final authority over my reactions?

Prayer: Lord, I invite the Holy Spirit within my heart to expand my ability to feel your love for me. More today than yesterday.

Learning Objective: Learn how to get faith that moves before the miracle. Discover what expectant faith is, who had it and how to get it.

Scriptures: Mark 5:28 | Matthew 8:8 | John 2:5 | Mark 2:5 | Luke 2:26 | Hebrews 11. Old Testament witnesses to expectant faith:

  • Noah built before rain fell.
  • Abraham left without knowing the destination.
  • Moses stepped toward the sea before it parted.
  • Reflective Questions
    1. Where in my life am I waiting for evidence before I’m willing to trust God?
      (What would it look like to believe before I see?)
    2. Which biblical example of expectant faith do I resonate with most right now—and why?
      (Am I being invited to move boldly like the friends, wait patiently like Simeon, or obey quietly like Mary?)
    3. What fear, outcome, or need for control is keeping my faith from moving?
      (What am I holding onto that God is asking me to release?)
    4. If I truly believed God was already at work, what would change in my posture, prayers, or actions this week?

Prayer: Lord, I want expectant faith that moves before your respond. Show me the way and increase my faith to match those who have gone before me.

Action Step: Move Before the Miracle

Identify one area where you have been praying but not yet moving.

Take one small, obedient step that aligns with trust rather than certainty.

    • Make the call.
    • Have the conversation.
    • Serve where you feel prompted.
    • Pause and pray before acting.
    • Obey the instruction God has already given.
