Building Bridges
Series: What’s Next?
May 22, 2022
PRAY
MAPS: Incredible story of how the Gospel Spread!
JESUS: 90 miles from Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea (almost exactly the distance from GR to Baldwin)
Incredible spread of the Gospel. No modern transit. No modern communications. Obstacles and barriers along the way. Shipwrecks. Bandits. Weather. Treacherous landscape. Spread like wildfire!
HOW DID THEY DO IT? THEY BRIDGED THE GAP!
MAIN IDEA: We are bridges to bring God’s love to a lost world.
Becoming the Bridge
The Holy Spirit is at work on their side of the bridge. (1-8)
We must seek the Father’s heart on our side of the bridge (9-16)
We need to make space and be ready to cross over ( 17-23)
What Can We Do?
Foster existing connections
Create common spaces
Be bold with opportunities

Discussion Questions:
Pick up the story of Peter and the Gentiles in Acts 10:34-48 (take turns reading). Question: How hard did Peter have to work to convince the people to receive the Good News? Who did all the work? What had to change so that Peter could be used to “bridge the gap.”
Talk about the work the Holy Spirit does throughout Acts 10 to help bring the Good News to the Gentiles. What does this tell us about the work of the Holy Spirit? What does this tell us about ourselves?
Spend some time together praying, seeking the Lord’s heart for the lost:
As you pray, focus not on getting through a “list,” but on hosting the Presence.
Have Acts 10 (or another relevant passage) open as you pray and meditate.
Really listen and ask the Lord to show you how He wants you to pray and pray into that.
If you feel the Holy Spirit gives you a word for the group, please share it.
Following the previous sermon (“You’re In Search and Rescue,” May 12, 2022), the discussion time encouraged you to think strategically about what you could do as a small group to build bridges in the community. Take some time, refine the discussion and, as a group, see if you can turn those basic ideas into an actual plan.
