Questions for the Community

Personal Reflection
1.  If you are a Christian, think back to what held you back from trusting in Jesus. How did God work to draw you to himself?
2.  Ponder the many reasons why it is such a privilege to be able to share. Post a list somewhere and review it regularly.

Group Discussion
3.  The What If Monster rears it’s ugly head and produces fear. What what if’s keep you quiet?
4.  Submitted to perfect love that casts out fear, a whole other set of “what if’s” emerge. What are those and how does that urge you forward with evangelizing?
5.  Review the 4 questions of the Gospel. Is that a good summary? What helps you in the moment keep to the kernel of truth and not chase rabbit trails of conversation?
6.  MAIN IDEA- Share like Jesus! Review the 4 ways mentioned on Sunday and gain clarity as needed. Which stood out most to you right now and why?
7.  What else is needed to help you grow in sharing your faith?

Plan of Action
8.  Witnessing for Jesus is a spiritual practice which requires spiritual means. Pray diligently and don’t give up! Pray specifically. Pray for people by name. Pray over circumstances and situations moment by moment. Ask God for a deep love for lost people, invite his activity to them THROUGH you.
9.  Remember to rejoice! Not just in your own salvation but in the movement of others. Be ready to leap when just one is found!
