#Gaze of the Soul

When you think of faith, what do you think of? We often think of what faith enables; whether healing, moving in the promises of God or victory over something. But do we ever stop to think about the essence and source of our faith? As we continue in our ‘Pursuit’ series, looking at the book ‘The Pursuit of God’ by A.W Tozer, we arrive at Chapter 7 where Tozer unpacks his statement ‘'Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God.' Bible references: 📖 - Numbers 21:4-9 📖 - John 3:14-15 📖 - Psalm 123:1-2 • • For Connect Groups using your talk, what 3 questions would you want them to discuss?” When you think of faith, what do you think of? Mark looked at Tozer’s statement ‘'Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God.’ with the connection of the Old Testament ‘looking’ and New Testament ‘believing’. Read Numbers 21:4-9, John 3:14-15, Psalm 123:1-2 and Matthew 14:19 and unpack this together – looking at this connection and what it means for you today.  Does this give you a new way to look at the essence of faith and if so, what do you feel challenged to do differently in your walk with God? How important has faith been to you in your life.  Give some examples/testimonies.
