How long will you put off taking possession of what God has promised you? The inheritance for God’s people today is not in the Middle East, but we do have an inheritance. How do we properly respond?

Sermon Outline:

I. God has secured our inheritance

II. Faith gratefully receives the lot God gives

Sermon Discussion Questions:

1. What areas of spiritual growth or obedience might you be “putting off” despite knowing God has already provided what you need? What practical steps could help you move forward?

2. God’s promises are meant to be “stimulants, not sedatives.” How does that change the way we think about God’s grace and the call to pursue holiness (see 1 Peter 1:13-16; 2 Peter 1:3-5)?

3. What aspects of your life circumstances (family background, abilities, challenges, etc.) have you struggled to accept as part of God’s sovereign plan? How might viewing these as your “lot from the Lord” change your perspective?

4. Read 2 Corinthians 8:13-14. In what ways might God be calling you to share your abundance (time, money, skills, resources) with others in need?
