We are called by Jesus to GO with Purpose, living our everyday lives in ‘mission mode.’ The Four Steps to living ‘on mission’ outlined in the message were…
1. SEE: Notice the people in your life who are far from God.
What keeps us from noticing people who don’t know Jesus?
Who in your life has no meaningful connection with God or any church? Scroll through your texts–identify three people you can begin to pray for.
2. TALK:
How have you/could you engage in spiritual conversations with people who don’t go to church?
Talk about a spiritual conversation you’ve had and how it played out.
3. SHARE your story and share God’s story.
‘My Story’ answers why I follow Jesus and how he’s made a difference in my life.
The message introduced a simple tool to get at your story. What two words would you use to complete one of the following sentences: Before I knew Jesus, I was _______. But now _________. OR Without Jesus, I am _______; through Jesus I am _________.
God’s Story is about what Jesus has done for us in his death on the cross and how to become his follower.
What tool or explanation have you found helpful in sharing God’s story? If you’ve never shared the story of Jesus, what has kept you from this? And how can you move forward?
4. TRUST the Holy Spirit.
Why is it so important that we understand that the results are up to the Holy Spirit and not up to us? How can we live out that trust in our everyday lives?
