Opener Q: Growing up who did you want to be like?
John 8:31 (NKJV)
The Truth Shall Make You Free
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed."
Q 1. – Repentance is simply a change of mind; it is aligning our thinking with God’s will. Examine your heart for becoming more like Jesus if you had to rate where you have been on a scale of 1- 10 what would you say? (No Heart to be like Jesus) 1-10 (whole heart to be like Jesus) where do you want it to be? Why?
Q 2. There are two things necessary for a discipleship culture – High invitation to relationship and High Challenge to spiritual growth. Which do you need more right now to become more like Jesus?
Q 3. How are you doing in abiding in God’s Word? This is the one area that Jesus says will move us from “Believer” to a Disciple. What does your time with God look like daily? What would you like it to look like? Challenge: As a care group agree upon a plan to listen to God daily by engaging His Word. Your group needs a plan. There are many tools available on “You version” (Bible App for your phone) or you could simply pick a devotion guide as a group or decide to read the book of Philippians together for a week. As a care group decide on a plan together and then hold one another accountable to do it for the next 21 days. (Takes 21 days to make a habit)
Close in Prayer: Thank the LORD for His Word and His Power so we can be like Him!
