Isaiah 53, Leviticus 16, John 1:29 John 3, Acts 3
Connect: Have you ever gone on a Mission trip? What was that like for you? What do you think discipleship looks like in the church today? Have you benefited from being discipled and what was that experience like for you? Have you ever discipled someone and what was that experience like for you?
Engage: What does the Great commission look like in action into today’s world Read Lev. 16 The Day of Atonement – Put yourself in the OT on that day – what would strike you in that chapter that you find fascinating.
Then to John 1:29 – Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. How would you connect the Lev. Passage and the John passage. What does that mean to you knowing that Jesus took away your sin? When have you shared your faith with someone and how did that go? Was it hard? Scary? Was it easy for you?
John 21 – Jesus’s conversation with Peter. Why do think Jesus asked it 3x ? If you love me – feed my sheep. What do you think of this interaction? What do you think that Jesus is trying to get across to Peter?
Who are you investing in right now? Whether it is an actual discipleship relationship or one that is more relaxed. If you are not investing in someone why not?
Dr Jay talked about the world but there are people right here in Buena Vista who do not know Jesus. Where are you investing in those areas in Buena Vista that need Jesus?
Apply: In Light of Dr Jays sermon, what is God stirring in you? Where do you need to take some steps of faith in light of the Great Commission? Is it going on a mission trip? Is it supporting a missionary? Is it investing in Varsity and Link? Is it working at the mission or pregnancy center etc? If the Holy Spirit is stirring something in you. What are you going to do about it and do you need to share it with some one?
