Going Deeper

At The Alpine Chapel, we want to encourage you to go deeper in your faith. Below is a simple framework to help you pursue a vibrant faith at home and in your communities. This will guide us as we seek to pursue God together.

The Quiet Place

Where we go to pursue God, study his word, and refill our soul. We encounter God's presence when we diligently and consistently seek him. (2 Cor 3:18)

The Table

Where we go to fellowship with others, sharing scripture, stories, and our lives with others in Christian Community. Community is a key component to our growth in Christ. (Heb 10:24-25)

The Road

Taking our faith out into our communities, sharing the reason for the hope we have in Christ. It can be in the workplace, in our neighborhoods, or wherever we join with others around us. (1 Peter 3:15)

Triads

We want to encourage you to pursue Discipleship with others this season through Triads

The goal of the Triads is to meet 4-6 times through the season to intentionally grow spiritually with a few others in close proximity! You can meet how and when it suits your triad, even online. If you have already been in a Triad, you can reconvene or start a new triad. If you start a new one, use the Story Resource below to guide your first few meetings. We think telling our stories to one another in this framework is one of the best ways to grow together. After you have told your stories, use the questions below to guide your time together. You can join/start a triad by pulling together some people you know or by emailing Jeff Fox at jfox@thealpinechapel.com

Triad Questions

Read Joshua 1
Quiet Place Question: Truly knowing God’s presence and meditation on the Scripture seem to be what will keep Joshua from being afraid. How could that be true for your fears today?
Table Question: What are you afraid of? How can people walking with you help with those fears?
Road Question: What keeps you from believing in God’s presence in you everywhere you go?

 

Read Joshua 2
Quiet Place Question: What do you notice about Rahab’s unlikely faith in God? How does it spur your faith?
Table Question: How has someone else’s faith encouraged your faith?
Road Question: Rahab’s faith led her to action at great risk to herself. What action is God calling you to take by faith?

 

Read Joshua 3-4
Quiet Place Question: What do you notice about the Israelites’ counterintuitive preparation for battle?
Table Question: Why was it necessary that the Ark went first?
Road Question: Why do you think God wanted them to step in the water before God parted it? How do you see your need to step out in faith even when it is not all figured out ahead of time?

 

Read Joshua 5
Quiet Place Question: Part of their preparation was to get the values of Egypt out and profoundly trust in God’s way. Are there places where you need to confess you are trusting in yourself today?
Table Question: Why was it essential that Joshua interact with the soldier? How does his answer to the question shape our trust in Him for what we are seeking?
Road Question: As we go into the world, whose values are we carrying with us? How do we know?

 

Read Joshua 6
Quiet Place Question: What do you think the military strategists thought of Joshua’s command? Why would God choose to give this first victory to the people of God in such a counterintuitive way?
Table Question: We are not necessarily promised success against every obstacle, but how can our faith in God lead us through whatever we are facing?
Road Question: Do we still believe that God does miracles? How do we not miss God’s power in this familiar story and how He works His power in you?
