Answered Prayers Pt. 3 “Becoming A Part”

Confronting the biggest threats to Christianity!

Matthew 16:18 TLB

18 You are Peter, a stone; and upon this rock I will build my church; and all the powers of hell shall not prevail against it.

Philemon 4-6

Luke 10:2

The world is not our threat, they are our mission.

LIFE GROUP DISCUSSION

Start talking. 

• What do you think would be one of the worst projects to try and accomplish if everyone else bailed on you an didn’t show up?

Start thinking.

• Read Jesus’ words he said to his disciples: Luke 10:2 NLT – 2 These were his instructions to them: “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.
• Why do you think there were so few workers back then? Do you think Jesus would say the same thing if he looked around now at Christians living in America? If so, why so?
• What do you think are some reasons why we don’t always work hard at sharing verbally and showing practically the love of Jesus with our neighbors, friends, family, etc?

Start sharing.

• Read Philemon 4-6 TLB – 4 I always thank God when I am praying for you, dear Philemon, 5 because I keep hearing of your love and trust in the Lord Jesus and in His people. 6 And I pray that as you share your faith with others it will grip their lives too, as they see the wealth of good things in you that come from Christ Jesus.
• Have you ever shared your story or testimony or faith with a non-Christian friend? If yes, how did it go? What did you share? If you never have, why do you think that is? 
• Share of something God has done for you? How has He helped you? What has He gotten you through? 

Start praying. Be bold, and pray with power.

• Pray that God would send more workers into the world. Pray that we too would answer the call and be available to share and show our faith. 

Start doing.
