FAITH: Comes by Hearing the Word of God

Romans 15:22: For this reason I also have been much hindered from coming to you.


FAITH: Comes by Studying the Word of God

When Paul says that he had been “much hindered,” you may be sure of one thing: he was much hindered. Many roadblocks had been put in his way. 1

FAITH: Comes by Obeying the Word of God

Read 2 Corinthians 11:22-28. What would you consider as your main hinderance today? How do you plan to “press on” in faith?

FAITH: Comes by Experiencing the Transforming Work of God

When personal sin is your main hinderance, then personal repentance is your main resolution for liberation.

FAITH: Comes by Praying with the Word of God

Lord, help me to see that my hinderances are Your way of having me depend more upon You.
