Discussion Questions
What makes it challenging for you to believe God could use you to reach those who are far from him?
Share a time when God saved you out of a dark place in your life
In the sermon, we talked about the difference between a “come and see” model of mission and a “go and love” model. Do you think the church needs to move from the first to the latter? Explain.
Who are you intentionally moving towards with the love of Jesus? Is there anyone you think God is asking you to “arise, and go” to in order to share the love of Jesus?
How have you seen God use the hard parts of your story to minister to others?
What’s the right balance in sharing vs. showing the love of Jesus?
Prayer Points
Pray that God would give you opportunities to minister to those who don’t yet know the Lord in your everyday life
Ask the Lord to show you if there are parts of your story he wants to use to give hope to others
Pray that God would continue to grow our hearts as a church for those who are far from him
