Growth Group (04) 12-11-2025 - When doubt creeps in

This is a 5-week Growth Group Bible Study titled “Assurance of Salvation”, designed to help believers understand, embrace, and live confidently in the security of their salvation through Christ.

📘 Assurance of Salvation

A 5-Week Growth Group Bible Study Theme: Knowing you are saved, standing firm in God’s promises, and living with spiritual confidence.

📅 Week 01: Salvation Is God’s Gift

📅 Week 02: God Keeps His Promises

📅 Week 3: Evidence of Salvation

📅 Week 4: When Doubt Creeps In

Scripture:

Romans 8:1 “1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,” ;

Psalm 51:10–12 “10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.” Big Idea: Doubt is normal — but God’s truth is greater than our feelings. Leader Notes:

Normalize spiritual doubt while pointing to Scripture’s reassurance.

Explore David’s prayer for restoration and Paul’s declaration of no condemnation.
