Referenced Scripture:
Acts 1:3-8, 1 Peter 2:12, John 4:39-42

Reflection Questions:
1. Was there something from the sermon that stood out to you? Explain.

2. When you hear that you are God’s plan A to TELL the world that Jesus is King and to SHOW what the world what the Kingdom of Jesus looks like, how do you respond to that? Thoughts, emotions, desires??? Why?

3. How have you seen God use you as a witness for Jesus and His Kingdom? How would you desire to see God use you? Explain.

4. What challenges or barriers have you faced in being a witness for Jesus? What would it take for you to overcome those challenges?

5. Being a ‘witness’ means we SHOW and TELL. We SHOW the world what the Kingdom of Jesus looks like and we TELL the world how to make Jesus their King. Why is both SHOWING and TELLING essential to help people come to faith in Jesus and to follow Him?

6. In Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) he outlines what His Kingdom looks like. Read through that and make observations of what the world looks like when Jesus is King.Is that a compelling vision of the world to you? Do you imagine it would be compelling to others? Explain.

7. When telling the story of your life of faith, why would it be important to share authentically (joys, challenges, questions, failures, hope)? What is the cost of not being authentic about our faith?

8. Read John 4 about the Samaritan women. What made her an unlikely candidate for being a witness for Jesus? How did God use her INVITE to change the world?

9. Read John 4:39-42 How could God use you to INVEST and INVITE someone in your world to “come and see” the King and the Kingdom? Who are at least 5 people you could pray for and invite to join you at Journey between now and Christmas?
