Discipleship in a Pandemic World (part 6) “Tolerance”
(available Sunday anytime)
1) How would you define good tolerance?
2) What is an example of bad tolerance?
3) I feel Levi’s example helps me in the following way…
————————————————–
Luke 5:27-28 NIV
After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus said to him, and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
Luke 5:29-30 NIV
Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
Luke 6:12-16 NIV
“One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles: Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.”
Luke 5:31-32 NIV
Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
John 17:20-21 NIV
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”
What a Quarantine Exposes (part 4) “Healthy Church”
2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Acts 2:41 NIV
Those who accepted his (Peter’s) message were baptized,
and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
Acts 2:42 NIV
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship,
to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
8/2/2020 – Discipleship in a Pandemic World (Part 5) “Cost”
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1) Why would Jesus use hyperbole (a shocking statement) to make a point?
2) In your own words… What does “take up your cross” mean?
3) How can we “count the cost” in our own discipleship?
4) What can you say or do to encourage someone who struggles with the cost of following Jesus?
—————————–
Luke 14:26 NIV “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.”
Luke 14:27 NIV “And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.”
Luke 14:28-30 NIV “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.”
Luke 14:31-32 NIV “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace.”
Luke 14:33 NIV “In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.”
7/26/2020 – Discipleship in a Pandemic World (Part 4) “Multiply”
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1) If God we’re asking me to see the world around me differently, what would God want me to notice?
2) Is there any difference between an ordained pastor serving God, and an average person serving God. Explain your thoughts on this…
3) Prayer for the world and recruiting helpers to reach the world are the responsibility of WHO?
————————–
Matthew 9:35 NIV
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
Matthew 9:36 NIV
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Matthew 9:37-38 NIV
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Teaching on Faith — by Mike Socha
Hebrews 11:1-6
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead. By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”[a] For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Ephesians 1:13-14
And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.
Acts 14:22
We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.
Genesis 6:9
Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.
II Peter 2:5
Noah, a preacher of righteousness.
Hebrews 11:7
By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family.
Genesis 6:5
The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.
Hebrews 11:8-10
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
II Corinthians 4:16-18
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
