SERIES HELPS:
In this series we will explore the church as being the body of Christ working to turn spiritually hungry people into fully devoted followers of Jesus! We will explore how we can participate in the mission as well! Through this series we will be praying for three people in each of our lives to know Jesus.
DISCUSSION GUIDE: October 13 – Ron Aulbach
“I Love My Church”
LIFE: What are some things you love about your church?
ENGAGE THE MESSAGE:
- Read Matthew 13:3-9.
- How is the local church the hope of the world?
- What are some ways in which we think of the church as a building?
- How can we change our perspective to be able to see the church as the people of the Kingdom of God?
- From the parable in Matthew chapter 13, what type of soil are you right now?
- If you are not fertile soil, how can you open yourself up to God and become fertile?
- Do you know others who are not fertile soil? How can you pray for them and help to remove rocks and thorns that impede their spiritual growth?
- How can our faith multiply the Kingdom of God? Give some examples of ways you see spiritually healthy people multiplying the Kingdom. What are ways in which your faith can multiply the Kingdom?
MAKE DISCIPLES: Who are three people you know that don’t know Jesus? Take time to pray for them now.
