    Tis Grace Hath Brought Her Safe Thus Far and Grace will Lead Her Home

    Complementary Old Testament Passage: Hosea 2 Sermon Outline: Steady yourself for lethal opposition to the Kingdom of God from all directions Commit disciples to the Lords hand to carry them through tribulations Gather to Rejoice in the door of faith provided by the Lord Family Discussion Questions: The people of Lystra tried to worship Paul and Barnabas. What happened after they refused to be worshipped? What two groups teamed up to try to kill the disciples? Does God promise a life without pain for people who trust in Jesus? If someone stops trusting in Jesus, did they ever really trust in Jesus? What are some things that make it hard for people to keep trusting in Jesus? What are we supposed to do to strengthen our faith in Jesus so that it lasts through hard times? What are elders for and how do we choose them? What various tribulations did these men encounter on their first missionary journey, and which might we anticipate in our own lives? How does the word hope help us to better understand what true faith looks like? Two extremes exist: passivity and self-dependance. How does committing souls to the Lord reject both of those extremes? What does a door of faith mean and why is it needed? How does this passage beautifully and soberly teach the reformed doctrine of perseverance of the saints? When God established the Old Covenant, the division between Jew and Gentile functioned as a clear object lesson. How does Christ make people who were once called Not my people to now be called, You are My People?

How should this passage fuel the churchs desire and commitment to preach the Word and boldly live as citizens of Christ?
