Spiritual growth happens when we receive new knowledge and then apply it to our lives. This always happens best in the context of community. Take time this week and engage in these additional scriptures and questions on your own. Then, discuss them with your Small Group.

“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”Proverbs 27:17

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS


GETTING TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER
What is one thing from this week's message that stood out to you, was especially helpful, confusing, or encouraging?
Have you ever shared your story with the group? If not, take some time to allow as many as possible in the group to share their story.

PERSONAL HOMEWORK
In anticipation of having an opportunity to tell someone your story, it helps to give some thought to what you’ve experienced so you can communicate clearly. For most of us, our story naturally falls into three parts.
Part One - My Life Before I Became A Christian
Try to recall what your life was like before you became a Christian. What attitudes did you display? What were your behaviors and feelings about life?Include here what brought you to the point where you knew you needed to turn to Jesus.
Part Two - How I Came To Jesus
What steps did you take to become a Christian? Did it happen at a specific time or was it a long process of giving Jesus the steering wheel of your life?
Part Three - What Being A Christian Means Now
What difference has being a Christian made in your life? What are the highlights of your relationship with Christ? How have your thoughts, attitudes, and goals changed or been affected by being a Christian?
