He Promises

In a world that’s always changing, God remains faithful.

This series unpacks some of the incredible promises made by Jesus — promises of love, peace, rest, guidance, and presence. Through Scripture, we’ll discover how God’s unchanging character gives us confidence to trust Him and live with hope.

Join us as we explore what these promises meant for the first hearers, what they mean for us today, and how they call us to seek Him and His Kingdom first.

He Promises to Love You | Michelle Stevens

Scripture Reading

Luke 15:1-7

Questions

Broken Promises vs. God’s Promises: How have you experienced the disappointment of broken promises—whether from people or products—and how does that contrast with the unbreakable promises of God in Numbers 23:19? 

Personal Love: In what ways does the parable of the lost sheep (Luke 15:1–7) help you understand that Jesus’ love is personal and not just general? When have you felt personally pursued by God’s love? 

Proven Love:John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” How does knowing that Jesus proved His love by dying for us change how we respond to Him? 

Powerful Love:The disciple John went from being a “son of thunder” to “the one whom Jesus loved.” What does his transformation teach us about how God’s powerful love can change our own hearts and relationships? 

Love as a Present Reality:Romans 5:8 says that God demonstrated His love for us “while we were still sinners.” How can we live out the truth that God’s love is present and available right now, even in our mess? 

Love That Changes Others:The story of Maximilian Kolbe shows love’s power to transform even in suffering. Where might God be inviting you to let His love flow through you to someone difficult to love?

He Promises You Don't Have to Worry | Mike Stevens

Scripture Reading

Matthew 6

Questions

  • Jesus says five times in Matthew 6 not to worry. Why do you think He emphasises it so strongly, and what difference does it make in your daily life?

  • Worry often reveals what we are most devoted to (e.g., money, approval, security). What do your worries reveal about your own devotions?

  • Jesus points us to God’s care for the birds as proof of His faithfulness. Where in your life have you seen God provide in ways that remind you of His care?

  • What does it practically look like for you to “seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness” instead of being consumed with worry?

  • How can trusting God with the future free us to live more fully and faithfully in the present?

He Promises to Give You Rest | Hannah Hillson

Scripture Reading

Matthew 11:18-30

Questions

  1. What does it look like for you to sabbath (Stop>Rest>Delight>Cultivate) in the midst of your busy? What helps you make that intentional move toward Jesus?

  2. Jesus invites us to take His yoke upon us — a picture of shared work and partnership. In what areas of your life do you find it hardest to trust that His way is lighter or better than your own?

  3. Jesus describes Himself as gentle and humble in heart. What might it look like to learn from Him a different way of handling busyness and rest?

  4. We often equate rest with stopping or escaping. How is the rest Jesus offers different from simply taking a break? Where have you experienced that deeper soul-satisfying rest?

  5. Jesus promises an exchange — our burdens for His rest. What might you sense Him inviting you to lay down right now, and what do you think He wants to give you in return?

Study 4

He Promises to Give You Peace | Mike Stevens

Scripture Reading

John 14 & 20

Questions

  • Jesus says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you” (John 14:27). How is the peace Jesus gives different from the peace the world offers?

  • In what areas of your life do you most need to hear and receive Jesus’ promise of peace today?

  • John 20:21-22 connects peace with mission: “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” How does receiving Jesus’ peace equip us to be sent into the world?

  • The biblical idea of shalom includes justice, well-being, and restored relationships. Where do you see God’s shalom breaking into our world today, and where is it most needed?

  • As carriers of God’s peace, what is one practical way you can bring peace to someone in your family, workplace, or community this week?

Study 6

He Promises to Be With You Always | Mike Stevens

Scripture Reading

Matthew 28:16-20

Questions

When Jesus gave his Great Commission (Matthew 28:16–20), some worshiped and some doubted.
– Why do you think doubt and faith can coexist in our walk with Jesus?
– How can we “step toward Jesus” even when we doubt?

– Do you have a story about this from your own life you'd be willing to share?

 

Jesus’ “Position Description” for disciples includes making disciples, baptising, and teaching obedience.
– Which of these feels most natural or most challenging for you? Why?

 

The Holy Spirit is described as our “internal GPS” leading us into the truth of Jesus.
– How have you experienced the Holy Spirit guiding, teaching, or reminding you in your own life?
– What helps you recognise His leading in your everyday life?

 

Michael Green said the Western church has become too dependent on words and not enough on the Holy Spirit’s power.
– Do you agree? What might it look like for us to rely more fully on the Spirit’s power in everyday life?

 

Jesus promises to be with us always—through doubt, faith, and on mission.
– What does this promise mean for you personally right now?
– How can your group help one another live with greater awareness of His presence this week?
