This Weeks ?’s
Leader Hints are designed to help guide a leader to some information that we want to “tease” out of the group. They are not there for you to directly read to the participants. People are significantly more likely to remember things they said or came up with, so your goal is to help direct them to that answer.
FINAL NOTE: Our goal is to get to the [APPLICATION QUESTION] to help work with people through how to apply what God is doing in their life.
INTRO:
- Fall is here! What are some of your family’s traditions during the fall season?
REBUILD THE SERMON:
Trail 3: Are there any next steps I need to take?
- Read Acts 2:36-42
- Repent and be baptized. What does it mean to repent?
Leader Hint: to change sides. A continual recalibration of your life to a God—oriented life. - What does is mean to truly reject your old life instead of just simply accepting Jesus and your Savior?
- Read Romans 6:3-7. Why do Christians get baptized?
Leader Hint: To become united with Jesus in His death and resurrection. - Read Ephesians 2:8-10. Is a person saved if they are not baptized?
Leader Hint: We are saved by grace through faith and not by works. - We’ve talked about Repentance and baptism. What is the third foundational piece Kent talked about?
Leader Hint: The gift of the Holy Spirit - What are a few functions of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Follower of Jesus?
Leader Hint: Comforter and Helper; Teach and Remembrance; Conviction of Sin and Righteousness; Empowerment for Witnessing; Fruit and Gifts; Indwelling and Seal; - Which of these fit with your experience the most? Which one doesn’t?
- Why does Jesus call the church the body of Christ?
Leader Hint: That’s where His Spirit has taken up residence.
Application Question:
- Have you repented? Have you been baptized? What questions do you have about those topics? Bring them up here or connect with your leader later this week.
- Take some time to talk with God. Invite Him to have permission to speak into your life and start carving out time in your schedule to be silent.
