Living Out Redemption - Teaching Material

Faith is not merely a distant belief; it is the conviction of things hoped for, as we see in Hebrews 11:1. It is the assurance that what we cannot see is just as real and assured as the air we breathe. Think about the moments in our lives when we find ourselves standing on the precipice of uncertainty—maybe it’s a health scare, a job loss, or a relationship in distress. Each of these situations can feel like a heavy fog, obscuring our vision and clouding our hearts with doubt.

But here’s where we must lean into redemption. Just as God redeemed Israel, leading them through the Red Sea, He invites us to trust Him in our own journeys. Living out redemption calls us to humble ourselves, to acknowledge our need for guidance, and to take that first step forward in faith.

Imagine a father holding his child’s hand as they cross a busy street. The child may not understand the dangers or the way ahead, but they trust their father implicitly. This is the trust we are called to exhibit toward our Heavenly Father. When we embrace humility, recognizing that we cannot navigate life’s storms alone, we open ourselves to the transformative power of God.

As you go through your week, ask yourself: Where can I step forward in faith, trusting God’s presence and guidance? Let this be an opportunity for spiritual growth. Take a moment each day to pray, seeking His comfort and wisdom. For it is in those small steps that we learn the depth of His love and the beauty of living out our redemption.
