Suggestion
1. Ask three friends to do this study with you. (Men and women are in separate groups of four each.)
2. Everybody does the study on their own.
3. When all four have finished the study, meet and discuss what you have discovered.
4. It is of utmost importance to move from Information to Obedience. Studying the Bible gives information and revelation. Obedience is the practical application. Discuss how to apply what you have discovered.
5. This is study No.5 in the series. Consider doing all 25 studies in this series.
6. Can you think of people who may benefit from these studies? Contact them. Encourage them to gather four people and do this series of Bible studies.
7. These Bible studies will help you grow as a disciple and a disciple-maker, giving you practical guidelines to lead others to the Lord and make them disciples and disciple-makers.
What Jesus Said About Confession of Sin
Two Scripture passages: Luke 15:17-21 & 18:9-14
Ask the following three questions as you study these two passages:
1. What do we learn about God from this passage?
(How is God revealing Himself to us in this passage: His Character, Works, Commands, and Promises?)
2. What do I learn about myself or people from this passage?
(What is God expecting from me? What needs to change in my life? What are my responsibilities?)
3. Why do you think these passages are in the Bible?
From Information to Obedience
After studying Luke 15:17- 21 and 18:9- 14, what do you sense the Holy Spirit is saying and asking you to do? Because it is God speaking here, we have to respond. This is where we transition from Information to Obedience: What must change in my life? Is there something that you sense – in the light of our discussion and these Scripture passages – that you need to do in the coming week? How can you be a blessing to other people around you? Be very specific.
