J.D. Greear July 18, 2010 John 12:20-24 Apply the Sermon

Choice, Promise, Motivation

July 18, 2010

On Sunday, Pastor J.D. Greear from the Summit Church in North Carolina taught from John 12 on God’s heart for unreached people groups.  He explained that God desires believers to lay down their lives for the sake of the Gospel and preach His message to all peoples.

Here are a few things to ponder:

  • How would your heart change if you viewed people who don't know Jesus as individuals and not just a statistic?
  • How can you best use your giftings to help reach the lost?
  • Pray that God would change your heart towards unreached people groups.
  • Pray that God would show you the best way to leverage your talents in reaching those who don't know Jesus.

Contentment

July 25, 2010

On Sunday, Darrin Patrick from The Journey in St. Louis taught on how we, as Christians, often times find our contentment in material things instead of God.  Instead of seeking contentment in Him, we seek it in our life situations, our families, technology, etc, when we should really be seeking contentment in the only thing that can satisfy--God.

Here are a few things to consider:

  • Rate your contentment on a scale from 1-10.  Why do you think you feel this way?
  • What are some things outside of God that you try to find contentment in?  What do you believe will really make you happy outside of Him?
  • Knowing what these things are, pray that God would grant you the grace to not find contentment in them, but in Him instead.
  • Pray that God would be your strength and would be in control in your life.

Afshin Ziafat August 1, 2010 Matthew 16:24-25 Apply the Sermon

The Cost of Following Christ

August 1, 2010

On Sunday, Afshin Ziafat spoke on Matthew 16 stating that the most important thing about us is how we answer the question:  Who do we say Jesus is?  He explained through his testimony that the answer to this question can be dangerous and can reveal the great cost of following Jesus.

Answer the following questions honestly:

  • Make a list of times in your life where you were at a crossroads--you could either follow Jesus at a great cost or turn your back on Him.
  • How did you respond in those times?  Did you press into Jesus or did you run away from Him?
  • Based on your responses, what does your life say about who you say Jesus is?
  • Pray that God would grant you the grace to honestly believe that Jesus is the Christ.
