Without Vision [I Can See Clearly Now] Discussion Guide
Summary
This sermon focuses on walking by faith and trusting God's vision for our lives, even when we can't physically see or understand His plan. Jonathan emphasizes that true faith exists when we believe in God's character and promises, even without visible evidence. Using examples from Hebrews 11 and his own ministry experience, he illustrates how faith requires trusting God's unseen plan and surrendering control.
Intro Prayer
Heavenly Father, as we gather to discuss walking by faith, we ask that You open our hearts and minds to Your message. Help us understand what it means to trust You even when we cannot see the path ahead. Guide our discussion and reveal to each person here exactly what You want them to learn. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Ice Breaker

Ending Prayer
Lord God, thank You for teaching us about walking by faith. Help us to trust You more deeply, especially in situations where we cannot see the way forward.
