http://bit.ly/2glYW8EWhat does it look like to bring people to Jesus without bringing them to church? This week, we learn the answer from Mark 2:1-5 and the example set by four devoted friends.
1. Find a group – you’re going to need it!
We all need a group. We all need other people.
2. Meet people’s expressed needs.
Many people are uninterested or even hostile towards Christians because Christians keep trying to meet needs that people aren’t expressing.
GROWTH GROUP / PERSONAL REFLECTION QUESTIONS
1. Describe a meaningful group of friends that you've been involved with for some time.
2. When did the group members work together to meet another member’s needs?
3. Did you grow in your faith because of this group?

3. Let Jesus meet their deeper needs.
Every one of us has deeper needs... Some of us need healing that isn't as outwardly obvious as paralysis.
4. Bring People To Jesus
That’s all those four friends did. They brought their friend to Jesus. And, he came willingly. They didn’t need to trick him or shout at him or point out his problems.
GROWTH GROUP / PERSONAL REFLECTION QUESTIONS
POINTS 2 & 3
1. Does everyone has deeper needs?
2. What kinds of environment are best for helping people explore their deeper needs?
3. What does it mean to, “bring people to Jesus.”
4. What are some of the weaknesses and some of the strengths of live worship services for bringing new people to Jesus?
5. What are some of the weaknesses and some of the strengths of personal relationships or group relationships for bringing new people to Jesus?
6. Do you have an answer to the question, “Whose need has Jesus met because of your faith?”

On Saturday, July 11th from 5:30-6:30pm join us at StoneBridge and receive the Sacrament of Communion via drive-thru! This will also be a great opportunity to come wish Pastor Cynthia farewell before she moves to North Carolina to take on a position as campus chaplain at St. Andrew’s University.
